Glossary

Anode:

The negative terminal of the SOFC where oxygen ions from the electrolyte react with fuel releasing electrons to the external circuit.

Cathode:

The positive terminal of the SOFC where oxygen molecules from the air are reduced to oxygen ions by absorbing electrons from the external circuit.

Electrolyte:

The central component of the SOFC which conducts electricity by the movement of oxygen ions. This is the solid analogue of the liquid electrolyte used in a battery.

Fuel cell stack:

A fuel cell composed of several individual fuel cell (anode/electrolyte/cathode) units electrically interconnected in order to provide a useful device in terms of power output.

Heterostructure:

A structure consisting of two closely matched materials with properties superior to those of the individual components due primarily to interface effects. Can be further enhanced through creation of multilayer heterostructures where many repeats are generated.

Planar device:

A fuel cell constructed from...
