The invention relates to methods and articles for coupling a fuel cell layer to a second structure. The fuel cell layer includes a superior fuel cell surface, an inferior fuel cell surface, and a perimeter fuel cell surface. An adhesive structure is adhered to the superior, inferior, and perimeter fuel cell surfaces to form a coupling or seal between the fuel cell layer and the second structure.

Perimeter coupling for planar fuel cell and related methods

Methods, systems, and articles relating to enhanced bonding of layers in a planar fuel cell. A planar fuel cell having a composite layer is bonded to an outer layer (e.g., a fuel or fluid manifold) using intrusions that extend through an electrolyte layer and into an underlying layer (e.g., a substrate component or a current-collector component).
