TL;DR: In this article, the performance degradation of high-performance metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (MS-SOFCs) with infiltrated catalysts is investigated and three additional fabrication steps are implemented: (1) preoxidation of the metal support, (2) deposition of thin and protective atomic layer deposition (ALD) coatings throughout the cathode-side electrode and support, and (3) in situ pre-coarsening of the catalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has drawn much attention as a suitable tool for fabrication and engineering of high performance fuel cell catalysts and electrodes, which enable synthesis of conformal and uniform film even at a sub-nm scale with excellent stoichiometry control and reproducibility.

TL;DR: Transition metal oxides (TMOs) anchored on a carbon nanostructure have been widely pursued for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysis as discussed by the authors, and the high ORR activity of TMO/graphene has been often attrib...

TL;DR: The actual role of the YSZ overcoat in the ORR process is revealed through a series of electrochemical analyses and it is revealed that the overcoat acts as an excellent facilitator of the atomic-oxygen-species-mediated chemical process(es) that used to be rate-limiting in the OrR of a noncoated Pt/YSZ system.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of using nitrogen-doped graphene as the air electrode of low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs) operating at 350°C or lower is presented.
