When the respective parts of the cell constituent members are adhered and fixed as in the fuel cell shown in FIG. 4, the thermal expansion coefficients of the constituent members of the respective parts are different as shown in Table 2 below. However, there is a risk that thermal stress is generated due to the temperature difference between the parts during temperature rise and fall of the battery and during power generation, and the three-layer power generation film 105 is cracked, resulting in a significant decrease in battery performance.

Further, in the fuel cell shown in FIG. 5, since the periphery of the three-layer power generation membrane 105 has a non-adhesive structure, the thermal stress generated in the three-layer power generation membrane 105 is smaller than that of the fuel cell shown in FIG. Although it is significantly relieved, the three-layer power generation membrane 105 receives thermal stress from the interconnectors 101 and 109 according to the rigidity of the fuel electrode side support layer 104 and the air electrode side support layer 106, so that when the power generation output density is increased. However, it becomes impossible to sufficiently cope with the increase in thermal stress of the three-layer power generation film 105 due to the non-uniform temperature distribution of the three-layer power generation film 105 that occurs in proportion to the increase in the power density. Further, since the three-layer power generation membrane 105, the heat-resistant seal packings 102 and 108, and the interconnectors 101 and 109 are not adhered to each other, it is difficult to completely prevent the leakage of fuel gas and air, and the leakage gas may slightly burn. There is a problem that the temperature rise and the fuel utilization rate are unavoidable.

Further, the conductivity of the interconnector in the thickness direction is secured by embedding or bonding the conductive ceramics embedding material in the interconnector which is each insulating ceramics. Further, by forming the solid electrolyte membrane of the three-layer power generation membrane in a wavy shape or an uneven shape, passages for fuel gas and air are formed. Furthermore, since the interconnector, the air electrode side conductive ceramics plate, the three-layer power generation membrane, the fuel electrode side conductive ceramics plate and the interconnector are only pressure-bonded, their linear expansion coefficients are almost the same. As a result, the cracking of the solid electrolyte of the three-layer power generation membrane is greatly mitigated. In addition, the contact resistance between the interconnector and the solid electrolyte membrane at the periphery of the three-layer power generation membrane is pressure-bonded by using a glass or ceramic adhesive having a coefficient of linear expansion that is almost the same as those of the three-layer power generation membrane, so that electrical resistance can be improved. Reduce and
Leakage of fuel gas and air can be prevented.

(1) Since the interconnector can be made of the same material as the solid electrolyte or a material having the same linear expansion coefficient, the thermal stress generated in the solid electrolyte membrane becomes almost zero in the entire operating temperature range, It is possible to completely prevent cracks in the solid electrolyte membrane and the three-layer power generation membrane. (2) By forming the power generation membrane itself in a concavo-convex shape, the conventional fuel-side and air-side support layers can be eliminated, the number of parts is reduced, and the number of contact resistance generation points is also reduced, so that the cell performance is greatly improved. (3) By completely adhering the interconnector and the solid electrolyte membrane, leakage of fuel gas and air can be completely prevented, the fuel utilization rate is improved, and burning of the battery due to combustion of the leakage gas can be completely prevented. .
