Abstract

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a solid-state electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy into electrical energy. Compared with other types of fuel cells, SOFC offers high efficiency exceeding 80% when harnessing the heat produced as a result of the conversion. By operating on very high temperatures (800–1000°C), fuels used in SOFC will reform inside the fuel cell itself without the need for external reforming or a metal catalyst. On the other side, using such high temperature regime makes materials selection for the fuel cell parts challenging.

This article outlines the principles and limitations of the SOFC, and highlights the advances in materials that can be used for the SOFC main components, namely, the electrolyte, the cathode and the anode aiming to improve the SOFC cost, durability and performance.
