FUEL CELL STACK
First Claim
1. A fuel cell stack including a stack body formed by stacking a plurality of solid oxide fuel cells, the solid oxide fuel cells each formed by stacking an electrolyte electrode assembly between separators, the electrolyte electrode assembly including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte interposed between the anode and the cathode, the fuel cell stack comprising:
- a base member provided at one end of the stack body in a stacking direction;
a mounting member provided at another end of the stack body in the stacking direction for applying a load to the stack body in the stacking direction; and
a fuel cell support member positioned between the mounting member and the stack body, the fuel cell support member comprising composite material of alumina fiber and vermiculite.

Abstract
A fuel cell stack includes a stack body formed by stacking a plurality of solid oxide fuel cells. The fuel cell stack includes a lower end plate, a load plate, and a fuel cell support member. The lower end plate is positioned at one end of the stack body in the stacking direction for placing the stack body on the lower end plate. The load plate is provided at the other end of the stack body for applying a load to the stack body in the stacking direction. The fuel cell support member is provided between the load plate and the stack body, and includes a composite layer made of alumina fiber and vermiculite.
