In order to enhance the uniformity of distribution of the gas such as fuel and air on the electrode surface, a current collector is provided, and it is necessary to manufacture diffusion channels for the fuel gas and air on both sides of the connection body by using a machining process, an etching process, or the like. To enhance the stability of the galvanic pile performance, it is also necessary to cover the surface of the connection body with a protective conductive coating, e.g. on the connection bodyThe fuel side surface of the connector is covered with a metal nickel coating, and the air side surface of the connector is covered with (La, sr) MnO 3 Or MnCo 2 O 4 And an electrically conductive oxide coating.

In this way, the current collector 100 is made to have high electron conductivity, reducing the electron conduction resistance between the porous electrode (fuel electrode or air electrode) and the connection body.
Similarly, the materials of the first diffusion layer 1, the conductive strips 5, the third diffusion layer 3 and the surface protection layer 4 may be selected to satisfy both the materials, or may satisfy only one of them, and as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the materials satisfy both the materials, so that the conductivity of the current collector 100 is higher.
In the solid oxide cell stack, the surface protection layer 4 is in close contact with the airtight connection body, and the atoms in the connection body volatilize and deposit into the porous electrode to suppress the electrode passivation and stack performance degradation caused thereby, so that the surface protection layer 4 is preferably a porous material having a low porosity of 0 to 40% (preferably ranging from 0 to 10%) and even being completely dense.
In order to promote rapid diffusion of the gas such as fuel or air within the current collector 100 to enhance uniformity of distribution of the gas over the porous electrode surface, the first diffusion layer 1 and the third diffusion layer 3 have a porosity of 30% to 98% (preferably ranging from 50% to 70%).

Further, the first diffusion layer 1, the conductive strips 5 and the third diffusion layer 3 are each provided with a straight hole extending in the vertical direction, and the diameter of the straight hole is 5-200 μm (preferably 50-150 μm). Furthermore, it is preferable that the straight holes of the first diffusion layer 1, the conductive ribs 5 and the third diffusion layer 3 correspond to each other to form a gas flow channel, so that the current collector 100 has a low porosity and even a dense protective conductive coating, preventing volatilization and deposition of atoms in the connection body into the porous electrode, thereby avoiding passivation of the electrode and deterioration of galvanic performance caused thereby.
The thickness of each layer is not limited in the present invention, and preferably, the thickness of the first diffusion layer 1 is 0.05 to 1mm (more preferably, 0.2 to 0.5 mm); the thickness of the second diffusion layer 2 is 0.05 to 1mm (more preferably 0.2 to 0.5 mm); the thickness of the third diffusion layer 3 is 0.05 to 1mm (more preferably 0.2 to 0.5 mm); the thickness of the surface protective layer 4 is 1 to 1000 μm (more preferably 10 to 100 μm); at the above thickness, the gas diffusion flux of the current collector 100 is high.
It is understood that the thicknesses of the first diffusion layer 1, the second diffusion layer 2, the third diffusion layer 3, and the surface protection layer 4 refer to the dimensions of each layer in the up-down direction, and the four thickness ranges may be satisfied at the same time or may be satisfied only one of them, and as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the four thickness ranges are satisfied at the same time, so that the gas diffusion flux of the current collector 100 is higher.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the current collector 100 is 0.1 to 5mm, and the gas diffusion flux of the current collector 100 is high at the above thickness.
Preferably, the second diffusion layer 2 and the third diffusion layer 3 are each provided in plurality, and the second diffusion layer 2 and the third diffusion layer 3 are provided in equal numbers, so that one second diffusion layer 2 and one third diffusion layer 3 constitute one repeating unit 200, and the current collector 100 is provided with one or more repeating units 200 between the first diffusion layer 1 and the surface protection layer 4, so that the gas diffusion flux of the current collector 100 is high.
In summary, the current collector 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a high electron conductivity, and reduces the electron conduction resistance between the porous electrode (fuel electrode or air electrode) and the connection body; secondly, the current collector 100 has an open gas diffusion channel, which is helpful to increase the gas diffusion flux, reduce the diffusion resistance of the gas such as fuel or air in the galvanic pile, and improve the uniformity of the gas such as fuel or air distributed on the electrode surface; finally, the current collector 100 also has a protective conductive coating of relatively low porosity, even dense, to prevent evaporation and deposition of atoms in the connector into the porous electrode, thereby avoiding passivation of the electrode and degradation of the stack performance caused thereby.
