Özet
Besides the general advantages of fuel cells, including clean and quiet operation, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as being one of the high-temperature fuel cells also provide a relatively high efficiency due to enhanced reaction kinetics at high operating temperatures, The high operation temperature of SOFC also enables internal reforming of most hydrocarbons and can tolerate small quantities of impurities in the fuel. However, a high operation temperature limits the SOFC application areas to stationary applications because of a long start-up period and also is not desirable from the viewpoint of cost reduction and longterm stability especially for the cell materials. Therefore, the lowering the operation temperature of SOFCs is crucial for the cost reduction and the long term operation without degradation as well as the commercialization of the SOFC systems. The reduced operating temperature also helps to reduce the time and to save the energy required for the system start-up enabling SOFCs to have wider application areas including mobile/portable ones. Apart from the low operating temperature, the high performance along with a small volume is another requirement for SOFC to be used in mobile applications. Both can be achieved by fabricating novel SOFCs generating a high power output at low operating temperatures. Therefore, this paper reviews the current status and related research on the development of these high performance-SOFC cell/stack designs. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
