The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 18th International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC-XVIII), which took place from May 28-June 2, 2023, in Boston, MA. The papers in this issue are based on SOFC-XVIII and cover all aspects of SOFCs and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), including:
- Development and demonstration of systems;
- Materials for different cell components and their processing and performance;
- Cell, stack, and system designs;
- Fabrication and testing;
- New applications including electrolysis and reversible cell operations;
- Flexibility to various fuels;
- Performance modeling;
- Durability and reliability issues.
These papers provide up-to-date, comprehensive information on the status of SOFC and SOEC technology and related activities.
This virtual issue focuses on papers presented at SOFC-XVIII. Exceptional submissions to SOFC-XVIII Transactions will be invited to submit manuscripts based on those Transactions. However, the issue is open to everyone.
Review, critical review, perspective, methods, communication, and original research articles are welcomed.
