  • Patent number: 11936075
    Abstract: Disclosed are a separator for fuel cells capable of minimizing the volume of a system and the use of sealants, and a stack for fuel cells, more particularly, a stack for solid oxide fuel cells, including the same. Specifically, by adding a metal sheet having a specific shape, position and size to the separator, the stress applied to the sealant can be uniformized, and thus the oxidizing agent and fuel can be separated and electrically isolated using only a piece of sealant. Therefore, the stack for fuel cells is characterized in that there is no variation in temperature, reactant concentration, power, or the like between respective unit cells, so delamination and microcracks do not occur, the volume is minimized, and the power density per unit volume is very high.

  • Patent number: 10840533
    Abstract: This application relates to a separator for a fuel cell and a fuel cell stack with improved durability, which contains the same, particularly to a solid oxide fuel cell stack. Specifically, this application allows an oxidizer and a fuel to flow in a counter-flow manner and a cross-flow manner in the fuel cell stack by forming an outlet manifold and an inlet manifold to have a specific shape, location and size in the separator. As a result, interlayer peeling, microcracking, etc. are prevented because no variation in temperature, reactant concentration, power, etc. occurs between each unit cell and the power density per unit volume is significantly improved because the volume is minimized.
