IMPROVEMENTS IN FUEL CELLS AND RELATED DEVICES

摘要

A solid electrolyte fuel cell component is formed by tape casting an electrolyte layer (42) and electrode layers (40, 44) to form a green tape which can be manipulated. The green tape is coiled into a form having an S-shape central portion (50) having oppositely-directed loops, so as to provide a first longitudinal channel (46) presenting an anode surface and a second longitudinal channel (48) presenting a cathode surface. After coiling, the assembly is fired to produce a solid, sintered product.
