Unitized cell solid oxide fuel cells

摘要

A unitized solid oxide fuel cell comprises a first electrically conductive interconnect operatively connected to an anode of the fuel cell, with the first interconnect having a first substantially planar portion and a first skirt portion. A second electrically conductive interconnect is operatively connected to a cathode of the fuel cell, with the second interconnect having a second substantially planar portion and a second skirt portion that is juxtaposed to the first skirt portion. A gas inlet is fixed to at least one of the first and second skirt portions while a gas outlet is fixed to at least one of the first and second skirt portions. The gas inlet and outlet can be releasably attached to a gas manifold.
