• A solid oxide fuel cell (or SOFC) is an electrochemical
conversion device that produces electricity directly from
oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their
electrolyte material; the SOFC has a solid oxide or ceramic
electrolyte. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high
efficiency, long-term stability, fuel flexibility, low emissions,
and relatively low cost. The largest disadvantage is the high
operating temperature which results in longer start-up times
and mechanical and chemical compatibility issues.
