Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: From Fundamental Principles to Complete Systems is a valuable resource for beginners, experienced researchers, and developers of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). It provides a fundamental understanding of SOFCs by covering the present state-of-the-art as well as ongoing research and future challenges to be solved. It discusses current and future materials, and provides an overview of development activities with a more general system approach toward fuel cell plant technology, including plant design and economics, industrial data, and advances in technology.Provides an understanding of the operating principles of SOFCsDiscusses state-of-the-art materials, technologies, and processesIncludes a review of the current industry and lessons learnedOffers a more general system approach toward fuel cell plant technology, including plant design and economics of SOFC manufactureCovers significant technical challenges that remain to be solvedPresents the status of government activities, industry, and marketThis book is aimed at electrochemists, batteries and fuel cell engineers, alternative energy scientists, and professionals in materials science.
