<p>A solid oxide fuel cell construction or stack comprising an array of fuel cells each including an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte, a plurality of interconnect portions electrically connecting the anode and the cathode of adjacent cells, the fuel cells and the interconnect portions being formed in a unitary structure comprising a multiplicity of channels along which fuel and oxidant may be delivered in use, wherein the mutual configuration of the anodes, cathodes and interconnect portions is such that the fuel cells are electrically connected in a series chain across the cell construction transversely to the channels whereby in use an electrochemical voltage is developed across the series chain and wherein the interconnect portions are formed in structures which each comprise a closed or partially closed shape around at least 40 percent of the cross-sectional area of each such channel in the region where the interconnect material is provided.</p> |
