Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Components

Abstract

With the ever-increasing needs of energy, fuel cells have emerged as tantalising alternatives due to their high efficiency (higher than diesel combustion engines and gas turbines), low maintenance, and ability directly to convert chemical energy into electrical energy via an electrochemical reaction. The solid oxide fuel cell is unique as it is fabricated entirely from the solid components, which eradicates any possibility of liquid corrosion and hence performance degradation.
