Isenberg, A O

This patent describes a high temperature, solid oxide electrochemical cell configuration comprising annular cells, each cell having inner and outer annular electrodes with an electrolyte therebetween. The cells are arranged in a network comprising planes of generally parallel cells adjacent one another with the planes positioned with planar surfaces adjacent one another. The cells of the planes are generally perpendicular to cells of adjacent planes, wherein the cells located in a common plane are in parallel electrical connection by having therebetween electrically conductive interconnects joining the outer electrodes of the cells, substantially along the length of the parallel adjacent cells.
