The team studied a well-known material, gadolinium doped ceria (GDC), which transports oxygen ions and is currently in use as a solid oxide fuelcellelectrolyte.
Recent advances in the researches of anode, cathode, solidelectrolyte, seperator support tube and the interconnector for solid oxide fuelcell are summarized. The problem existed is pointed out.
As the key component of the solid oxide fuelcell (SOFC), the electrolyte has significant influence on the main quality of the performance and the cost.
