Hybrid Interconnect For A Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell Stack

US Patent:
2006021, Sep 28, 2006
Filed:
Mar 23, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/087904
Inventors:
Diane England - Bloomfield NY, US
Lane Wilson - Bruceton Mills WV, US

Catherine Vavonese - Rochester NY, US
International Classification:
H01M 8/02, H01M 8/24, B32B 3/10
US Classification:
429034000, 429035000, 428131000
Abstract:
An electrical interconnect for a fuel cell assembly comprising a peripheral frame formed of one or more materials having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of adjacent elements to which the interconnect must be bonded and a central portion formed of a corrosion-resistant material for conducting electric current between adjacent fuel cells. Preferably, the central portion is attached to the peripheral frame via a brazed corrugated lap joint for relieving thermal expansion differences between the frame and the central portion. Preferably, the joint includes an interlayer of a ductile material, for example, a nickel, copper, silver or gold layer, which helps to relieve thermal stress between the frame and the central portion.
