The battery, with planar high temperature fuel cells, comprises a stacked alternating arrangement of electrochemically active elements (2) and interconnectors (1). Each of the interconnectors are in the form of an air heat exchanger and include a base body which determines the thermal expansion of the interconnector and which separates an air side from a gas side. A structured layer (4, 5), for electrical conduction, heat transport and air and fuel gas transport along the active elements, is provided on both sides of the base body. Each base body is in the form of an air heat exchanger and forms a resistant surface oxide layer in the presence of oxygen under the battery operating conditions. The air-side structured layer (4) is joined to the base body so that the joint locations (43) of the base body are protected against oxidation. Preferably, the base body is made of a ferritic alloy selected from Fe/22% Cr/5-8% Al, Fe/13-15% Cr/3.5-5% Al, Fe/3-5% Si /3-5% Cr or Fe/2-4% Si/8-12% Cr. |
