A novel electrochemical cell which may be a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is disclosed where the cathodes () may be exposed to the air and open to the ambient atmosphere without further housing. Current collector () extends through a first cathode on one side of a unit and over the unit through the cathode on the other side of the unit and is in electrical contact via lead () with housing unit (and). Electrical insulator () prevents electrical contact between two units. Fuel inlet manifold () allows fuel to communicate with internal space () between the anodes (and). Electrically insulating members (and) prevent the current collector from being in electrical contact with the anode.
