TL;DR: In this article, a review of new cathode systems being investigated for application in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is discussed. But the authors focus on the development of novel cathode materials with excellent electrochemical performance to reduce the cost of SOFCs.
Abstract: The development of novel cathode materials with excellent electrochemical performance is very important to reduce the cost of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs).In this review article,new cathode systems being investigated for application in SOFCs are discussed.For the cathode materials,materials with the perovskite or related structures continue to dominate the field,due to the need for high electronic conductivity.Recently,research in this field is being directed toward compositions allowing high ionic conductivity in addition to their electronic contribution.A site ordering double layered perovskite oxides with excellent oxide ion conductivity,especially,materials allowing the incorporation of oxygen excess into interstitial sites have shown promising results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of thickness of TiO_2 thin film, HCl treatment, light-scattering layer, and Pt-counter electrode on the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells is discussed.
Abstract: The fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells(DSCS) and a series of technology optimization are introduced. The influences of thickness of TiO_2 thin film,HCl treatment of TiO_2 powder,treatments of TiO_2 electrode with TiCl_4,light-scattering layer and Pt-counter electrode on the efficiency of DSSC are discussed.The experimental results show that HCl treatments of TiO_2 powder,the increase of the thickness of TiO_2 thin film within a certain range,light-scattering layer,TiCl_4 treatments and Pt-counter electrode can improve the efficiency of DSSC.
