The inventor of the present invention has studied and found that the sealing of the existing flat solid oxide fuel cell unit is difficult, and the fuel cell unit has large volume and weight.
In this regard, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a proton transmissive solid oxide fuel cell unit comprising:
a current collector 1 provided with a groove 101, the groove 101 extending from one side of the current collector 1 to the other side;
the porous metal coating 2 is positioned in the groove 101 and covers the bottom of the groove 101, holes in the porous metal coating are communicated with each other, the aperture is in the micro-nano to micro-micro level, and the porosity is 10% -50%;

an electrolyte coating layer 4, which is partially located in the groove 101, covers the anode coating layer 3, and the edge of which extends onto the surface of the current collector 1 at the edge of the groove 101, and covers the surface of the current collector 1 at the edge of the groove 101;
and the cathode coating 5 is positioned in the groove 101, the cathode coating 5 and the anode coating 3 are respectively positioned at two sides of the electrolyte coating 4, and the cathode coating 5 and the anode coating 3 are correspondingly arranged relative to the electrolyte coating.
The proton transmission type solid oxide fuel cell is characterized in that the current collector is provided with the grooves extending from one side to the other side, and the porous metal coating, the anode coating, the electrolyte coating and the cathode coating are sequentially arranged in the grooves.

The porosity of the porous metal coating of the present invention may specifically be, for example, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%.
The edge of the electrolyte coating extends to the surface of the current collector at the edge of the groove, so that the direct contact of fuel cell gas and oxygen can be blocked, namely, the fuel gas can only circulate in the porous metal coating and the anode coating, the oxygen can only circulate on the cathode coating and the upper part of the cathode coating, an extra sealing layer is not needed, a self-sealing effect is formed, the peripheral sealing process of the porous metal coating, the anode coating and the cathode coating can be omitted, the overall sealing difficulty of the cell is reduced, and the preparation process is simplified.
