- the stack using split cell integrated tubes designed to form small unit cells in the longitudinal direction in the tubular support and electrically connected in series using conductive ceramic connectors between the unit cells is made of metal
- the electricity is flowed into the electrical connection material of the conductive semiconductor and the thin film layer in the longitudinal direction of the anode layer. Problems such as the electrical connection between the two have not been solved, it is impossible to increase the size in three dimensions by using a small tube, and also there is a problem that the temperature deviation and heat control is not easy when the size is not large because the internal reformer is not equipped.
- Solid Oxide Fuel Cell is operated at a high temperature of 750 ⁇ 1000 °C and is the most efficient compared to other fuel cells, but the unit cell is made of thin ceramic and finally Due to the nature of the unit cell area, it is difficult to make a large area of the unit cell, there is no sealing material that operates perfectly at high temperature, and the electrical connecting plate (Interconnect), which serves as an electrical connection between the gas channel and the unit cell between the unit cells to ceramic ash, is made of metal. It is manufactured to be inevitable to avoid the mechanical stress problem and the high temperature corrosion of metal due to the mixed lamination of metal and ceramic.

- the thickness of the 'EEA' layer is thin, but it is difficult to control the uniformity or flatness of the thickness due to the characteristics of the ceramic.
- Alternating stacking plates use seals at the cell edges to seal the incoming fuel gas and air between cells.
- the softening temperature of glass-based materials used as sealing materials starts from about 600 °C, but solid oxide fuel cells usually have to be operated at a high temperature of over 750 °C to obtain the desired efficiency.

- a small unit cell consisting of a cathode, an electrolyte, and an anode is formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical or flat tubular support by dividing and covering the tube along the length direction of the unit cell. It is proposed to manufacture a split cell tube in which a cathode of one unit cell is electrically connected to an interconnect. These split cells have the characteristic that the output voltage increases according to the number of unit cells connected in series on the tube, so that the voltage can be higher than the general flat type without physical stacking, and the cost is low.
- a flat tube segmented type in which the unit cells are stacked in the longitudinal direction in the same manner in a flat tube is US 7,399,546 B2, Korean Patent 10-2006-0030906, Japan Patent Publication 2006- 172925, etc.
