Disclosed is a structure of a solid oxide fuel cell, including a porous tubular anode support having a plurality of through holes, and an electrolyte layer and a cathode layer sequentially formed on the inner surface of the tubular anode support, so that fuel flows via the plurality of through holes and air flows through the inside of the cathode layer, thus increasing a diffusion rate of fuel and air to thereby increase the reaction rate, resulting in excellent cell performance. This structure eliminates the flow of fuel and air around the outside of the fuel cell, thus preventing the formation of an oxidizing atmosphere at the inside and outside of the tubular cell, thereby increasing lifespan of the cell and ensuring cell reliability.

Disclosed is a manifold of a fuel cell, including a conductive support having an upper support member and a lower support member between which two or more anode-supported tubular unit fuel cells each comprising an anode layer, an electrolyte layer and a cathode layer formed in sequential order are disposed and which include an inner connector and an outer connector formed to be tightly fitted into an inner surface and around an outer surface of the unit fuel cells so as to electrically conduct the unit fuel cells, such that the unit fuel cells are alternately connected with the inner connector and the outer connector at an upper end and a lower end thereof thus forming an electrical series circuit. The manifold which is essentially manufactured to supply fuel to a solid oxide fuel cell is used to simply collect current from the fuel cell even without an additional current collector being used, and is configured such that unit fuel cells disposed in the manifold are connected in series.

Disclosed herein is a tubular solid oxide fuel cell module including an anode layer, an electrolyte layer, a cathode layer divided into two parts or more, a conductive mesh structure and a conductive wire, and a method of manufacturing the same. The tubular solid oxide fuel cell is advantageous in that the cathode is divided into two parts or more, so that the moving distance of electric charges is decreased, with the result that resistance loss can be minimized, thereby increasing the efficiency of collecting electric charges.
