Abstract: Provided is a fuel cell stack structure. The fuel cell stack structure includes first and second cell modules and first and second separation plates. In each of the first and second cell modules, one or more fuel cells generating electricity are stacked, and each of the fuel cells includes an electrolyte layer, and a cathode layer and an anode layer formed on both surfaces of the electrolyte layer, respectively, and generates electricity. The first and second separation plates are electrically connected to the first and second cell modules, respectively, and each separation plate has an air hole and a fuel hole at edges to provide an air including oxygen and a fuel gas including hydrogen to the cathode layer and the anode layer, respectively. At least one separation plate has a sealing unit for sealing the air hole and the fuel hole, and has a protruded convex at a different part from the sealing unit to improve an electrical contact with the other separation plate.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid oxide fuel cell stack. The solid oxide fuel cell stack includes a unit cell, a cell frame configured to support an edge of the unit cell, a interconnecting member disposed under the cell frame, a sealing member disposed between the cell frame and the interconnecting member, and a spacer member configured to uniformly maintain an interval between the cell frame and the interconnecting member. The spacer member is disposed at an area between the cell frame and the interconnecting member, which is not sealed by the sealing member, and formed of a mica or insulating ceramic.

Abstract: Disclosed is a connector for a solid oxide fuel cell, which electrically connects tubular solid oxide fuel cells to each other. The connector includes a conductive body part having a first electrode contact groove and a second electrode contact groove. A first electrode contact part is formed on the top surface of the body part to receive at least a portion of an exposed first electrode portion and second electrode portion of a first solid oxide fuel cell, and is electrically connected to the first electrode of the first solid oxide fuel cell. A second electrode contact part is formed at the bottom surface of the body part so as to receive at least a portion of exposed first electrode portion and second electrode portion of a second solid oxide fuel cell, and is electrically connected to the second electrode of the second solid oxide fuel cell.
