TL;DR: Recent developments of SOFC fuel electrodes that will enable the better use of readily available fuels are discussed, particularly the fuel electrode or anode.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the direct electrochemical oxidation of methane in solid oxide fuel cells that generate power densities upto 0.37 W cm−2 at 650°C.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the use of dual-beam focused ion beam–scanning electron microscopy to make a complete three-dimensional reconstruction of a solid-oxide fuel-cell electrode, and calculates critical microstructural features such as volume fractions and surface areas of specific phases, three-phase boundary length, and the connectivity and tortuosity of specific subphases.

TL;DR: In this paper, single-crystal TiN/VN strained-layer superlattices with layer thicknesses ranging from 0.75 to 16 nm have been grown on MgO(100 ) substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction examinations showed that the films were single crystals exhibiting coherent interfaces and several orders of super-lattice reflections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a perspective on solid oxide fuel cells operating at low temperature, defined here to be the range from ∼400 °C to 650 °C, with a focus on materials that have demonstrated good properties and cell performance.
