Separator plate having fuel reforming chamber for mcfc and manufacturing method thereof

A method of manufacturing a separator plate having a fuel reforming chamber for a molten carbonate fuel cell, comprising:

• (1) an anode part shaping step of twice folding each of two ends of a first metal plate toward a central portion of the first metal plate, thus shaping an anode part having a pair of fuel gas guides opposite each other;
• (2) a cathode part shaping step of twice folding each of two ends of a second metal plate toward a central portion of the second metal plate, thus shaping a cathode part having a pair of oxidizing gas guides opposite each other;
• (3) a fuel reforming chamber shaping step of coating a surface of a third metal plate with a reforming catalyst for reforming a fuel gas, three times folding the third metal plate into a shape of a hexahedron which has two opposite open surfaces and in which two ends of the third metal plate are brought into contact with each other to constitute any one corner of the hexahedron to thus form a corner contact part, thereby forming a fuel reforming chamber, and attaching the corner contact part of the fuel reforming chamber to a corner of the anode part or the cathode part, which is positioned adjacent to the corner contact part of the fuel reforming chamber, using a welding process;
• and
• (4) an alignment step of aligning the cathode part or the anode part, which is not attached to the fuel reforming chamber, with the fuel reforming chamber so that the fuel gas guides and the oxidizing gas guides have gas flows orthogonal to each other.

• and
• (4) an alignment step of aligning the cathode part or the anode part, which is not attached to the fuel reforming chamber, with the fuel reforming chamber so that the fuel gas guides and the oxidizing gas guides have gas flows orthogonal to each other.
