Patent ID: 8895205

Claim:
A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), comprising: an anode; a cathode; an electrolytic layer between the anode and the cathode; and a current collector in an interior space defined by the anode and comprising a current collecting wire layer having a multiple-layered structure comprising: a plurality of metal wires each extending in an axial direction of the SOFC; and a coating layer on an outer circumferential surface of each of the metal wires, having a higher melting point than that of the metal wires, and comprising a plurality of separate portions intermittently located on the outer circumferential surface of each of the metal wires, wherein the current collector comprises: a metal tube; the current collecting wire layer being on an outer circumferential surface of the metal tube; and a metal felt layer in a gap between the current collecting wire layer and an inner circumferential surface of the anode.
