Isenberg, A O

A single electrochemical cell is described comprising cell segments. The cell segments comprises an annular, electronically conductive, porous, inner electrode; solid electrolyte contacting and surrounding the inner electrode; an electronically conductive, porous outer electrode contacting and surrounding the electrolyte; and an annular. An electronically conductive, interconnection member is disposed between adjacent segments, electronically connecting the inner electrode of one cell segment to the inner electrode of an adjacent cell segment. The outer electrodes are physically and electronically segmented for each other and from the inner electrodes of adjacent cell segments.
