    Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell comprising a thin ceramic electrolyte sheet having an increased street width is disclosed. Also disclosed are solid oxide fuel cells comprising: a substantially flat ceramic electrolyte sheet, a substantially flat ceramic electrolyte sheet having a seal area of greater thickness than the active area of the electrolyte sheet, a ceramic electrolyte sheet that overhangs the seal area, a ceramic electrolyte sheet and at least one substantially flat border material, and a border material having a non-linear edge. Methods of making a solid oxide fuel cell in accordance with the disclosed embodiments are also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of making a solid oxide fuel cell wherein the seal has a uniform thickness, wherein the seal is heated to remove a volatile component prior to sealing, and wherein the distance between the frame and the ceramic electrolyte sheet of the device is constant.

    Abstract: A honeycomb structure for a diesel engine or an automotive engine where the wall thickness is varied in a controlled manner from the front surface to the back of the honeycomb. One example is grading the web thickness continuously from thin webs on the front of the DPF to thick webs on the back of the DPF. Another example is to make a two layer honeycomb with thinner walls and/or perhaps even lower cell density on the upstream side of the honeycomb. This provides a lower thermal mass front while retaining the thicker webs and higher thermal mass at the back of the honeycomb. The honeycomb structure has a thermal mass or heat capacity ranging from above 8.5x10-3cal/cubic cm-K to below 0.25 cal/cubic cm-K along an axis from the inlet end to the outlet end.
