HPD-SOFCs

FIGURE 6.6 High power density (HPD) SOFC, consisting of a flattened tube with two flat faces. The vertical struts between the two flat faces provide shorter paths for the electronic current collection, eliminating the need for all of the electronic current to travel around the circumference of the cathode, as in the standard tubular cell design shown in Figure 6.5 [48], Reprinted from [48] with permission from Elsevier.
