ABSTRACT:
A fuel cell assembly including a substrate and an electrolyte disposed on the substrate and having a rib projecting out from the substrate. The rib has first and second side surfaces and a top surface. An anode is disposed on the first side surface and a cathode is disposed on the second side surface. The fuel cell also includes a resistive heater disposed at a location selected from the anode, the cathode, within the electrolyte, between the rib and the substrate, and any combination of these.
