Stackable high temperature fuel cell has cathode connected to interconnector by electrically conductive ceramic sprung elastic pressure contacts

摘要

A stackable high-temperature fuel cell comprises an electrode unit with anode (3) at the fuel inlet and cathode (2) at the oxidant inlet with the cathode connected to an interconnection (5,8) by at least one sprung elastic contact. Pressure contacts (6) in the region of the cathode and interconnection are formed of electrically conductive ceramic.
