Summary and Outlook

Abstract

In this thesis, MS–SOFCs have been successfully fabricated and promising electrochemical performances and long-term stabilities have been demonstrated. The structure-performance relationship of the electrodes, reaction kinetics of the electrodes and degradation mechanisms of the MS–SOFCs were also investigated. Despite the achievements, future work, e.g., the application of in-situ characterization techniques, and optimization of the structures and materials are still needed to further investigate the structure and reaction kinetics of the electrode materials, improve the electrochemical performances and stabilities of the fuel cells, and expand the application areas of the MS–SOFCs.
