Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell having a porous ceramic support, a fuel electrode provided on the porous ceramic support, an electrolyte layer provided on the fuel electrode, an air electrode provided on the electrolyte layer, and a fuel electrode current collector connected to the fuel electrode and extending in a direction way from the air electrode is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell comprising: a porous ceramic support; a fuel electrode provided on the porous ceramic support; an electrolyte layer provided on the fuel electrode; an air electrode provided on the electrolyte layer; and a fuel electrode current collector connected to the fuel electrode and extending in a direction away from the air electrode. 2. The flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of an edge part of the fuel electrode extends to a surface of the porous ceramic support in the direction away from the air electrode, and wherein the fuel electrode current collector and the part of the fuel electrode extending to the surface of the porous ceramic support in the direction away from the air electrode are connected. 3. The flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , further comprising an air electrode current collector connected to the air electrode and extending in a direction away from the electrolyte layer. 4. The flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the porous ceramic support includes at least one oxide of Mg, Ca, Y, Al and Zr. 5. The flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the porous ceramic support includes at least one oxide of MgO, MgAl 2 O 4 , CaO, Y 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 and Zr 2 O 3 . 6. The flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the porous ceramic support is 200 μm or more and 5 mm or less. 7. The flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , comprising: a metal mesh layer provided on a part of the fuel electrode extending to a surface of the porous ceramic support in the direction away from the air electrode; and an extension line connected to the metal mesh layer and extending in the direction away from the air electrode. 8. The flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the fuel electrode current collector includes nickel or copper. 9. A cell module comprising the flat plate-shaped solid oxide fuel claim 1 as a unit cell.
