Abstract

Properities and the operating principle of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are briefly introduced. Advantages and challenges of the metal–supported solid oxide fuel cells (MS-SOFCs) are reviewed, e.g., choice of the metal support, materials and fabrication techniques of electrolytes, anode/cathode issues and the corresponding strategies.
