pemThe First Book Centered on Materials Issues of SOFCsemppppAlthough the high operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells SOFCs creates opportunities for using a variety of fuels, including low-grade hydrogen and those derived from biomass, it also produces difficulties in materials performance and often leads to materials degradation during operation. These obstacles have proven to be challenges in the path to greater commercialization. Focusing on materials-related issues, strongSolid Oxide Fuel Cells emMaterials Properties and Performanceemstrong provides state-of-the-art information for the selection and development of materials for improved SOFC performance.ppppemThe Materials behind the Development of SOFCsemppppSummarizing progress in the field thus far, the book describes current materials, future advances in materials, and significant technical problems that remain unresolved. The first three chapters explore materials for the electrochemical cell electrolytes, anodes, an
