Performance Benchmark of Planar Solid Oxide Cells Based on Material Development and Designs

Solid oxide cell (SOC) technology currently attracts great attention due to its unique potential for substantially contributing a carbon-neutral power supply. The variety in possible designs and applications—covering oxygen ion proton conductors the ability convert surplus electricity easily storable synthetic fuels, as well produce from these fuels according demand availability—provides excellent position of SOCs with regard decentralized generation distribution. Herein, reference work on performance is provided by highlighting specific advantages different types, designs, materials certain operating conditions, including challenges concerning operational modes, processing, degradation. In conjunction critical examination terms relevance technical feasibility, data enable an assessment general types development connect scientific research industrial considerations.
