Abstract

Solid oxide fuel cells attract the attention of developers due to their high energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and a wide variety of types of fuel used. The publication is devoted to the current state of the issue in the field of materials development for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Ceramic oxide materials used for the anode, cathode and electrode of fuel cells are considered. It is shown that interest in solid oxide fuel cells will steadily grow, while small-sized SOFC up to nanoelements will have a special perspective.
