PURPOSE:To provide a current collecting structure of a solid electrolytic fuel cell with which the construction is simplified and the electric loss remains lesser. CONSTITUTION:Into a supporting pipe 10 working also as an electrode 11, a porous tubular current collector 16 is inserted, which has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the pipe 10 and pressurizes the pipe 10 at the time of power generating, and one end of this current collector 16 is drawn out to one end of the supporting pipe 10. Because the current collector 16 can be configured with the electrical characteristics are considered as important factor, Joule's loss can be reduced to possible minimum, and also because there is no need to form the electrode 11 in a split structure, the whole construction can be simplified and the manufacture be facilitated. |
