ABSTRACT:
A fuel cell construction of economical design is disclosed. In the construction, a honeycomb separator is used to define a plurality of compartments which are separated from one another by a porous cell wall. Electrolyte is provided in the cell walls while alternate compartments of the cell contain either an oxidant or a fuel for the fuel cell. The cells contain suitable electrochemical catalyst materials on the walls thereof and electrode structures in the cells so that the oxidation of the fuel may take place in the electrolyte found in the cell walls in order to generate current for the cell. In accordance with preferred teachings, the separator is an extruded ceramic material such as used for the substrate of automotive catalytic converters.
