Abstract
A fuel cell comprising a tubular body, an inner and outer electrolyte layer disposed on the tubular body, an inner and outer electrically conductive layer disposed on the respective electrolyte layer, and a first electric terminal arranged at an interruption of the outer electrolyte layer and the outer electrically conductive layer. Also fuel cell systems having a plurality of such fuel cells, which are electrically connected in axial direction to form subgroups and in radial direction.
Claims13
A fuel cell comprising:
- a tubular body configured to conduct a reactant gas of the fuel cell, wherein the tubular body has an inner side surrounding an inner channel and an outer side;
- an inner electrolyte layer disposed on the inner side of the tubular body;
- an outer electrolyte layer disposed on the outer side of the tubular body;
- an inner electrically conductive layer disposed on the inner electrolyte layer;
- an outer electrically conductive layer disposed on the outer electrolyte layer;
- and
- a first electric terminal,
- wherein the outer electrolyte layer and the outer electrically conductive layer are interrupted, at least in a circumferential direction of the tubular body, at an interruption, and
- wherein the first electric terminal is electrically connected to the tubular body at the interruption of the outer electrolyte layer and the outer electrically conductive layer.
