Abstract: A fuel cell cassette (12) for forming a fuel cell stack (10) along a fuel cell axis includes a cell retainer (16), a plate (22) positioned axially to the cell retainer (16) and defining a space axially with the cell retainer (16), and a fuel cell (14) having an anode layer (36) and a cathode layer (34) separated by an electrolyte layer. The outer perimeter of the fuel cell (14) is positioned in the space between the plate (22) and the cell retainer (16), thereby retaining the fuel cell (14) and defining a cavity between the cell retainer (16), the fuel cell (14), and the plate (22). The fuel cell cassette (12) also includes a seal disposed within the cavity for sealing the edge of the fuel cell (14). The seal is compliant at operational temperatures of the fuel cell (14), thereby allowing lateral expansion and contraction of the fuel cell (14) within the cavity while maintaining sealing at the edge of the fuel cell (14).
