To provide a solid oxide electrolyte fuel cell in which reaction cells that are miniature and high in efficiency are aggregated.
This is the solid oxide electrolyte fuel cell which has arranged two or more reaction cells 1a provided with air electrode bodies 14, and a plurality of fuel electrodes/solid electrolyte layer laminated tubes embedded in the air electrode bodies 14. The fuel electrode/solid electrolyte layer laminated tubes are composed of fuel electrode tubes 11, and of solid electrolyte layers 131 that have been installed on the outer peripheral face of the fuel electrode tubes 11. Respective reaction cells 1a are connected to each other via fuel manifolds 21 arranged at respective fuel electrode tubes, and via inter connectors 3 installed at respective air electrode bodies 14. The solid oxide electrolyte type fuel cell can be made to be started and stopped in a short time because it is high in efficiency and can be downsized. Furthermore, the reaction cells are supported by the manifolds and the inter connectors, and can be made to have a simple constitution because circuits are formed.
