    摘要: Provided are a separator-fitted single fuel cell, and a fuel cell stack, wherein the junction and the seal between the single fuel cell and the separator has improved reliability. The separator-fitted single fuel cell is provided with a single fuel cell, a plate-shaped metallic separator, a joining part for joining the single fuel cell and the metallic separator, and a sealing part. The plate-shaped metallic separator has through-holes. The joining part is constituted from a brazing material containing Ag, and has an extruded portion protruding toward the through-hole side, from in-between the single fuel cell and a first main side of the metallic separator. In reference to the single fuel cell, the extruded portion is lower in height than the second main side. The sealing part comprises a sealing material containing glass, is disposed throughout the periphery along the through-holes of the metallic separator, covering the extruded portion and a portion of the second main side.

    摘要: An internally-manifolded solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack is described, including an anode interconnect structure 12 integrated with a cathode interconnect structure 14. The anode interconnect structure 12 includes a fuel flow field 24; and the cathode interconnect structure 14 includes an air flow field 26. The two structures are configured to allow for parallel flow of air and fuel across a plane of the interconnect 10, while the manifold openings for the fuel 16,18 are arranged in a cross-flow orientation with respect to the manifold openings for the oxidant (20, 22) across a plane of the interconnect structure 10. Related processes are also described, along with a power generation system that includes an SOFC incorporating this type of interconnect 10, attached directly or indirectly to at least one power block, such as a combustion engine.

    摘要: Fuel cell devices and systems (10, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 910, 920, 960) are provided. In certain embodiments, they include a ceramic support structure (29) having a length, a width, and a thickness. A reaction zone (32) positioned along a portion of the length is configured to be heated to an operating reaction temperature, and has at least one active layer therein comprising an electrolyte (28) separating first and second opposing electrodes (24, 26), and active first and second gas passages (815, 821) adjacent the respective first and second electrodes (24, 26). At least one cold zone (30) positioned from the first end (11a) along another portion of the length is configured to remain below the operating reaction temperature. An artery flow passage (814) extends from the first end (11a) along the length through the cold zone (30) and into the reaction zone (32) and is fluidicly coupled to the active first gas passage (815), which extends from the artery flow passage (814) toward at least one side. The thickness of the artery flow passage (814) is greater than the thickness of the active first gas passage (815). In other embodiments, fuel cell devices (10, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 910, 920, 960) include an electrolyte (28) having at least a portion thereof comprising a ceramic material sintered from a nano-sized powder. In yet other embodiments, cold zones (30) are provided at each end (11a, 11b) with the reaction zone (32) therebetween having at least two discrete power sections, each having one or more active layers, the power sections fed by discrete fuel passages (962a,b) to provide a device (960) and system capable of operating at more than one power level.
