Materiales para ánodos, cátodos y electrolitos utilizados en celdas de combustible de óxido sólido (SOFC)

Abstract

Fuel Cell Solid Oxide (SOFC), are electrochemical reactors that can directly convert the chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy with high efficiency, can substantially reduce oil dependency and environmental impact. The current trend in SOFC research is directed to the use of available hydrocarbon fuels, such as natural gas. Moreover, these cells have additional advantages such as high temperature use in cogeneration or hybrid applications as well as for internal reforming capability. This article show the most commonly used materials for the manufacture of anode, cathode and electrolyte comprising the SOFC.
