<p>PURPOSE:To offer such a molten salt fuel cell as being simple in structure, long in service life and low-unit cost of production, by remodeling its solid structure comprising an electrolyte holding body and an interconnector plate. CONSTITUTION:Ribs 15 and 16 of an electrolyte holding body 14 and an interconnector plate 10 form an emply space for an electrode and a gas chamber. An opening part of this space is used for feed and discharge ports of gas, and an air vent is installed in the side of a layer-built cell whereby fuel gas and oxidizer gas are able to flow orthogonally. On the other hand, the interconnector plate 10 comes into contact with an electrode at its surface's projections 12 and 13, then presses these projections to the electrolyte holding body 14 and performs its role as a current collector, while also performs its role as an electrolyte supporter body, a gas separator and an interconnector plate. Moreover, the rib 15 on the electrolyte holding body 14 also had a function as an electrolyte reservoir, thus contributing to improvements in the service life of a cell.</p> |
