摘要 |
An electrochemical device (10) comprising a plurality of electrolytic cells (12,14), each having an oxygen ion-conducting electrolyte (18,20), an anode (26,28) and a cathode (30,32) associated with the electrolyte, conductive interconnecting structures (16) electrically connecting the anode (26,18) of each electrolytic cell (12,14) to the cathode (30,32) of an adjacent cell, and a sealant (48,50) positioned between the interconnecting structure (16) and the location of the sealant (48,50) provides a separation between the seal and the conductive pathway of electrons between the anode (26,28) and cathode (30,32) to prevent corrosion or deterioration of the seal. |
