Abstract

A solid state electrochemical device incorporating planar sheets (11) of cathode flow passages, in varying configurations and geometries, with thin coatings of electrolyte, anode and interconnect materials, which when assembled and bonded together form a monolithic honeycomb structure defining tubular passages for the passages inside the cell plates, while fuel will flow through passages formed between adjacent cells. Electrically insulating manifolds (15, 17), designed to keep the fuel and air separate, are bonded at each end of the honeycomb. The fuel cell stack and manifolds are encased in a metal housing (9, 10) or cover (19, 20) to provide the outer walls of the manifold, complete the package, and define a discrete fuel cell module that can be used singly or in groups in fuel cell power generation systems.
