SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL
First Claim
1. A solid oxide fuel cell comprising a solid electrolyte, a fuel electrode, and an air electrode, whereinthe air electrode comprises a product obtained by firing a compact containing a perovskite oxide and sulfur element andthe content of the sulfur element in the air electrode as fresh after firing or before the start of power generation is 50 ppm to 3,000 ppm.

Abstract
Disclosed is a durable solid oxide fuel cell that is less likely to have a problem of a conventional solid oxide fuel cell that an air electrode containing a peroviskite oxide, when exposed to a reducing atmosphere, is separated at the stop of operation, especially shutdown. The solid oxide fuel cell includes an air electrode that is obtained by firing a compact containing a perovskite oxide and sulfur element. The content of the sulfur element in the air electrode as fresh after firing or before the start of power generation is in the range of 50 ppm to 3,000 ppm. The separation of the air electrode is effectively suppressed at the shutdown operation.
