Abstract: The present invention relates to high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells, in particular to rotationally symmetrical high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The inventive oxide-ceramic high-temperature fuel cell having one or more gas channel(s) open at at least one end. The fuel cell has a substrate surrounding the gas channel(s) at least sectionally, preferably completely. The gas channel(s) and/or the substrate surrounding the gas channel(s) has/have (a) changing cross-sections(s), preferably (a) conically tapering cross-section(s), seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis/axes of the gas channel(s).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel cell system, in particular solid oxide fuel cell system (SOFC-System), with several tubular fuel cells, whereby several of these fuel cells respectively have at least one inner electrode, an electrolyte surrounding this/these inner electrode(s) at least in sections and at least one outer electrode surrounding the electrolyte at least in sections, so that the electrolyte spatially separates the inner and the outer electrode(s) from each other, at least two of these fuel cells are located or fixated in or on an electrically conducting carrier and/or contact, which connects—electrically conducting—the inner electrode(s) and/or one/several electrical contact(s) of one/several inner electrode(s) of a first tubular fuel cell or a part of such with the outer electrode(s) and/or one/several electrical contact(s) of one/several outer electrode(s) of a second tubular fuel cell or a part of such, whereby the second tubular fuel cell is preferably located directly adjacent to the f

Abstract: Fuel cell system with at least one burner that is arranged directly at a fuel cell, shaped at/on it, or in which a burner (7) is a separate element of a fuel cell system with more than one fuel cell (8) and this burner possesses the structure of a fuel cell or of a sealing element (5) of a fuel cell.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing metallic moulded bodies comprising a ceramic layer according to the membrane method, whereby a porous metallic membrane is used. The aim of the invention is to provide a cost-effective, rapid method which is as non-polluting as possible for producing metallic moulded bodies comprising a ceramic layer according to the membrane method using a porous metallic membrane, whereby the penetration depth, the green density and the deposition speed of the ceramic particles in the metallic membrane can be controlled. To this end, the porous metallic membrane is sealed by electrophoretic deposition of ceramic particles in the pores of the metallic membrane, the metallic membrane being arranged between two electrodes for the electrophoretic deposition, and the space between an electrode and the metallic membrane being filled with a dispersion containing the ceramic particles to be deposited in the pores and a dispersant.
