Electricity flows into the interconnector 2 from the connecting portion between the power generating layer 3 and the interconnector 2, that is, the convex portion of the power generating layer 3.

を塞いでしまう恐れがある。Since the convex portions of the power generation layer 3 of the conventional dimple-type solid electrolyte cell are provided at a pitch of about 3 mm, the number thereof is several thousands per one power generation layer 3. Therefore, it is very difficult to apply the electrical bonding material 7 to each of the convex portions. Further, if the amount of the electric bonding material 7 applied to the convex portions is not uniform, the electricity cannot be sufficiently extracted. For example, if the applied amount is too small, the flow resistance becomes electricity. If the coating amount is too large, the gas passage between the interconnector 2 and the power generation layer 3 may be blocked.
