Powders of respective metal elements (Mn, Co) constituting a transition metal oxide (MnCo2O4) having a spinel type crystal structure are used as a starting material. A paste containing the mixture of the powders is interposed between an air electrode and an interconnector, and with this state, a sintering is performed, whereby a bonding agent (sintered body) is formed to obtain the bonding member according to the present invention. In the bonding member, a chromia layer including Cr2O3, a first layer including elements of Mn, Co, Fe, Cr, and O, and a second layer including elements of Mn, Co, Fe, and O are provided in this order from the side close to the interconnector at the bonding portion between the bonding agent and the interconnector. The bonding member has sufficiently great bonding strength between the interconnector and the bonding agent.
