Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

A Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a device that generates electricity through a chemical reaction between a fuel, like hydrogen or natural gas, and oxygen. It operates at high temperatures, around 800–1000°C, allowing it to efficiently convert fuel directly into electricity with minimal emissions. The cell consists of a solid ceramic electrolyte that conducts ions, facilitating the reaction. SOFCs are used for clean power generation in buildings, vehicles, and stationary energy systems, offering high efficiency and the ability to utilize various fuels. They are valued for their durability and environmentally friendly operation.
