Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0233771A2] The invention relates to an interconnector for a fuel cell. The above comprises means for controlling chemical reactions, for example, the methane/steam reformation reaction. The interconnector can comprise means of accommodating catalytic material for catalysing chemical reactions. Spatially directed chemical reactions, for example, the methane/steam reformation reaction may be catalysed in the interconnector, by means of a directed spatial treatment. Peak temperatures can be reduced, and life expectancy and the efficiency of the fuel cell increased.

[origin: WO0233771A2] The invention relates to an interconnector (1') for a fuel cell, comprising means (4) for controlling chemical reactions, for example, the methane/steam reformation reaction. The interconnector can comprise means of accommodating catalytic material for catalysing chemical reactions. Spatially directed chemical reactions, for example, the methane/steam reformation reaction may be catalysed in the interconnector, by means of a directed spatial treatment.
