Adhesive sealed solid electrolyte cell housed within a ceramic frame and the method for producing it

A method for producing a cell assembled within a ceramic housing comprising the steps:

• (a) preparing a first conductive terminal sheet and a second conductive terminal sheet:
• (b) forming a ceramic frame defining an opening at the center and having a top surface and a bottom surface and treating said top surface and said bottom surface with one of the following steps:
• (b-1) depositing on said top surface and said bottom surface a metal or metal alloy for bonding to an adhesive and (b-2) treating said top surface and said bottom surface with a corona treatment to improve each surface affinity for an adhesive:
• (c) preparing an anode, an electrolyte and a cathode:
• (d) assembling said anode, said electrolyte and said cathode into the opening in the frame and superimposing and securing the first and second conductive terminal sheets onto the top and bottom surfaces of the frame, respectively using an adhesive layer placed between the peripheral area of one side of each sheet and the surfaces of the frame and said adhesive seal maintaining its adhesive characteristics at a temperature of 225.degree. C.;
• and wherein said anode is in electrical contact with one conductive terminal sheet and said cathode is in electrical contact with the other conductive terminal sheet.
