Abstract

A new design of a small power SOFC battery is presented. The battery consists of an array of flat double-sided fuel cells assembled with only two screws. Fuel cells are made with the application of commercially available HTCC green tapes. Eight layers of 180μm thick anode tape (YSZ+NiO) constitute the anode base structure of the double-sided fuel cell. Within the anode base structure, the separate areas serve as: the functional anode, the anode current collector, and the support for the anode functional layer. Also a network of fine micro channels is embedded within the anode base structure. The individual double-sided fuel cell is completed by deposition of the following layers, which constitute the electrolyte, the cathode, and the cathode current collector These layers are deposited on both sides of the anode base structure by means of screen-printing. Each double-sided fuel cell is provided with the own separate fuel distributor and combustion product collector. That beneficial feature enables completing the tests, separately for each cell, prior assembly into battery.
