A type of fuel cell in which the electrolyte is a solid, nonporous metal oxide, typically ZrO2 doped with Y2 O3, and O2- is transported from the cathode to the anode. Any carbon monoxide (CO) in the reformate gas is oxidized to carbon dioxide CO2 at the anode. Temperatures of operation are typically 800-1000°C. 3, record 1, English, - solid%20oxide%20fuel%20cell

Present SOFC designs make use of thin film concepts where films of electrode, electrolyte and interconnect material are deposited one on another and sintered, forming a cell structure. 4, record 1, English, - solid%20oxide%20fuel%20cell

Le principe de fonctionnement des SOFCs est basé sur le mécanisme suivant: l'oxygène est dissocié à la cathode en O2 -, puis l'anion migre à travers l'électrolyte conducteur ionique à haute température et va se combiner à l'anode avec l'hydrogène, ou le monoxyde de carbone, pour former de l'eau et libérer des électrons. 5, record 1, French, - pile%20%C3%A0%20oxyde%20solide
