Abstract
A solid oxide fuel cell assembly has a gas separator plate and a silver electrically conducting layer between the gas separator plate and the cathode layer of the adjacent fuel cell. The conductive layer may be in the form of a mesh or other sheet which permits oxygen-containing gas in gas channels to pass through the conductive layer and access to the cathode layer. The silver may be pure, alloyed, present as an intermetallic compound, or present as a composite with a non-metal.
