Abstract
In various embodiments, a solid oxide fuel cell is fabricated in part by disposing a functional layer between the cathode and the solid electrolyte.
Claims23
-16. (canceled)
A solid oxide fuel cell configured to operate at an operating temperature of less than 550° C., the solid oxide fuel cell comprising:
- a cathode;
- a solid electrolyte for conducting oxygen ions from the cathode to an anode;
- an anode for reacting oxygen ions from the solid electrolyte with a hydrogen-containing fuel;
- and
- a functional layer disposed between the cathode and the solid electrolyte,
- wherein the functional layer has a thickness of less than 5 μm.
