Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
摘要
With the increasing global energy demand and a series of problems caused by environmental pollution and climate warming, people are forced to continuously seek new clean alternative energy sources. In recent years, fuel cells have received more and more attention and research. Fuel cells are static energy conversion devices that can convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy through an electrochemical reaction between fuel and oxidizer without the combustion process, and are not subject to the Carnot cycle (Kuterbekov et al. in Nanomaterials 12(7): 1059 (2022)). Among the different fuel cells, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) is one of the most efficient power generation technologies because of its flexible fuel choice, lack of noise, low CO2 emissions, and potentially long life of 40,000–80,000 h (Stambouli and Traversa in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 6(5): 433–455 (2002)).
