Abstract

Fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device to directly convert the chemical energy of fuels to electricity. Among all types of fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) operating at intermediate temperatures of 600~800 ^oC offer an attractive option that is much more fuel flexible than low temperature fuel cells such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and is suitable for a wide range of applications. However, two main challenges remain towards the commercial viability and acceptance of the SOFC technologies: the cost and durability. Both are critically dependent on the process, fabrication, performance, chemical and microstructural stability of various cell components, including anode, cathode, electrolyte, interconnect, and seal. Manifold and balance of plant materials also need to be carefully selected to ensure the structural stability and integrity with minimum volatile species. This article aims at providing a concise review and outlook of materials and components that have studied for SOFCs. The opportunities and challenges for the new generation of SOFCs technologies are briefly discussed.
