A solid oxide fuel cell (or SOFC) is an conversion device that produces electricity directly from a . are characterized by their electrolyte material; the SOFC has a solid oxide or electrolyte. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high combined heat and power efficiency, long-term stability, fuel flexibility, low emissions, and relatively low.
[pdf] Solid oxide fuel cells are a class of fuel cells characterized by the use of a solid material as the . SOFCs use a solid oxide electrolyte to conduct negative oxygen ions from the to the . The electrochemical oxidation of the , carbon monoxide or other organic intermediates by oxygen ions thus occurs on the anode side. More recently, proton-conducting SOFCs (PC-SOFC) are being developed which transport protons instead of oxygen.
