This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0103733 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Aug. 16, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a solid oxide fuel cell, and more particularly, to a thin and light solid oxide fuel cell in which a passage through which fuel and air may flow in and out is formed in a sealant layer and a support is located on an inner wall of the passage to prevent the blockage of the passage due to a flowage generated in the sealant layer at a high temperature and a window frame is omitted to simplify a configuration.
A fuel cell is a device which directly produces electricity through an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen in the air, and is an energy source which is eco-friendly, has high energy efficiency, and has high value added through technology development. Specifically, a solid oxide fuel cell which is a third-generation fuel cell does not need a complex external reforming system as compared with other fuel cells, does not use a noble metal electrode catalyst such as platinum, and is not corroded due to a liquid electrolyte, and as a result, the solid oxide fuel cell has advantages in that it is possible to minimize various operating problems caused in a low temperature fuel cell to maintain an operating temperature through appropriate insulation at the time of high temperature operation and to use various fuels.
