As described above in detail, according to the solid oxide fuel cell of the present invention, when the gas separators made of ceramic sintered bodies are joined to each other or when the separators and the cells are joined,
Since the junction temperature can be lowered, the cell performance is not adversely affected. Further, since the thermal expansion coefficient of the bonding material itself is almost the same as the thermal expansion coefficient of the gas separator and the thermal expansion coefficient of the cell, there is no occurrence of peeling, cracking or the like even when subjected to a heat cycle. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a solid oxide fuel cell having high performance, excellent durability, and high reliability.
