Abstract
A solid oxide fuel cell component () comprises a plurality of solid oxide fuel cells () arranged in spaced apart relationship, and in electrical series, on a surface of the porous gas permeable support structure (). Each solid oxide fuel cell () comprises a dense gas tight electrolyte member (), a porous gas permeable first electrode () and a porous gas permeable second electrode (). Each electrolyte () is arranged in contact with a corresponding one of the first electrodes (), each second electrode () is arranged in contact with a corresponding one of the electrolytes (). Each of the first electrodes () is arranged in contact with the surface of the support structure (). The interconnectors (), the peripheral seal layer () and the electrolytes () are arranged to encapsulate all of the first electrodes () except for the surfaces of the first electrodes () in contact with the surface of the support structure () to prevent leakage of reactant from the first electrodes ().
