Abstract:
A solid oxide fuel cell array has pairs of a first connection member and a second connection member. Each pair electrically connects two adjacent first and second fuel cells to electrically connect the plurality of fuel cells in series. The second fuel cell has the first connection member connected to the outer side electrode layer of the second fuel cell at a distance D1 measured from the upper terminal end of the outer side electrode layer of the second fuel cell and has the second connection member connected to the outside side electrode layer of the second fuel cell at a distance D2 measured from the lower terminal end of the outer side electrode of the second fuel cell. The distance D2 is longer than the distance D1.
Abstract:
To provide a method of manufacturing a solid oxide fuel cell, capable of obtaining a uniform film thickness. The present invention is a method of manufacturing fuel cells (16), including a support body-forming step (S1) for forming a porous support body (97), a film deposition step for laminating functional layers constituting electricity generating elements on a support body; and a sintering step (S14, S16) for sintering the support body on which functional layers are formed; whereby the film deposition step includes surface deposition steps (S5, S11), in which a masking layer is formed in parts not requiring film deposition, and electricity generating elements first functional layers are simultaneously formed, and a dot deposition step (S15), in which slurry dots are formed by placing a slurry into a liquid droplet state and jetting it, and a second functional layer is formed by the agglomeration of these dots.
