Estimating the term…
A fuel cell comprising a container having a gas inlet and a gas outlet, and a multi-element stack contained in the container and made up of two or more elements for the fuel cell, the element comprising an electrolyte layer, a cathode layer, and an anode layer, with the electrolyte layer being interposed between the cathode and anode layers, and a mixed gas of a fuel gas and an oxygen-containing gas being fed to the fuel cell from the gas inlet, wherein the multi-element stack is formed of the elements stacked in such a manner that the cathode layer of one element is in direct contact to the anode layer of another element, and each of the electrolyte, cathode, and anode layers has a passage through which the mixed gas passes. A multi-element stack for such a fuel cell is also disclosed.
