Abstract
In the field of renewable energy, fuel cell research has emerged as a promising source of energy for the future. Fuel cells utilize fuels more efficiently compared to other energy generation systems. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems are gaining prominence due to their applications in military operations, mobile power supplies, and stationary power generation. Significant research efforts are being made to lower the operating temperature of SOFCs from 1000℃ to approximately 600℃, leading to the development of low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LTSOFCs). This is being achieved by selecting alternative electrode and electrolyte materials, particularly ceramics, to enhance their application effectiveness. To ensure the efficient utilization of LTSOFCs, new nanocomposite materials with superior performance characteristics are essential. Research has focused on NiO-based anodes, perovskite-based cathodes, and ceria-based electrolytes for LTSOFC applications. Intercell connectors suitable for low-temperature SOFCs have also been explored. In addition to developing new materials, innovative fabrication technologies, such as dip coating, have been investigated. This article discusses recent trends in the development of novel materials and technologies aimed at advancing LTSOFC research and development, as well as its potential commercialization in the near future.
