This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal-supported tubular
micro-solid oxide fuel cell, and a fuel cell made from such method. The method
comprises the steps of coating a wooden substrate member with a conductive substrate
layer, coating the substrate layer with an inner electrode layer, coating the inner
electrode layer with an electrolyte layer, drying and sintering the coated substrate
member such that the substrate member combusts, coating the electrolyte layer with
an outer electrode layer, and then drying and sintering the layers.
