In an increasing demand of renewable energy resources, fuel cell represents the highly efficient, clean and sustainable energy conversion source. Broadly speaking, fuel cell can be divided into six different categories according to the types of electrolyte and fuels used. Each type of fuel cells has their own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) gains significant attentions due to their high efficiency, cost-effectiveness and the possibility to utilize variety of fuels other than hydrogen such as hydrocarbons, coal gas etc. As name implies, SOFC uses solid electrolyte for their operation. Indeed, in medium and large power requirement sectors, SOFC are highly suitable. In the present review article, recent advances and future perspectives of SOFC have been discussed via reviewing the literature over last five years. Most of the available review articles discussed the literature in terms of specific SOFC component such as anode, cathode, electrolytes and so on. In contrast, herein the literatures have been reviewed in the context of two types of SOFC stack designs i.e. planar and tubular that have been immensely used to fabricate efficient SOFC devices. Furthermore, fundamental of SOFC operation and its typical I–V characteristics and SOFC designs are also discussed in detail. Furthermore, preparation techniques for planar and tubular SOFC are briefly described. Finally, some of the recent trends in SOFC technology along with challenges and future perspectives are presented in this review article.

固体氧化物燃料电池:十年的进步、未来的前景和挑战
在对可再生能源日益增长的需求中,燃料电池代表了高效、清洁和可持续的能源转换来源。从广义上讲,燃料电池根据所使用的电解质和燃料的类型可以分为六大类。每种类型的燃料电池都有自己的优点和缺点。其中,固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)因其高效率、成本效益以及可以利用除氢以外的多种燃料,如碳氢化合物、煤气等而受到广泛关注。顾名思义,SOFC使用固体电解质来他们的操作。事实上,在大中型电力需求领域,SOFC 非常适合。在本综述文章中,通过回顾过去五年的文献,讨论了 SOFC 的最新进展和未来前景。大多数现有的评论文章都讨论了特定 SOFC 组件(例如阳极、阴极、电解质等)的文献。相比之下,这里的文献已经在两种类型的 SOFC 堆设计的背景下进行了审查,即平面和管状,它们已被大量用于制造高效的 SOFC 装置。此外,还详细讨论了 SOFC 操作的基本原理及其典型的 I-V 特性和 SOFC 设计。此外,简要描述了平面和管状 SOFC 的制备技术。最后,这篇评论文章介绍了 SOFC 技术的一些最新趋势以及挑战和未来前景。在本文中,已经在两种类型的 SOFC 堆设计(即平面和管状)的背景下对文献进行了审查,它们已被大量用于制造高效的 SOFC 装置。此外,还详细讨论了 SOFC 操作的基本原理及其典型的 I-V 特性和 SOFC 设计。此外,还简要描述了平面和管状 SOFC 的制备技术。最后,这篇评论文章介绍了 SOFC 技术的一些最新趋势以及挑战和未来前景。在本文中,已经在两种类型的 SOFC 堆设计(即平面和管状)的背景下对文献进行了审查,它们已被大量用于制造高效的 SOFC 装置。此外,还详细讨论了 SOFC 操作的基本原理及其典型的 I-V 特性和 SOFC 设计。此外,还简要描述了平面和管状 SOFC 的制备技术。最后,这篇评论文章介绍了 SOFC 技术的一些最新趋势以及挑战和未来前景。简要描述了平面和管状 SOFC 的制备技术。最后,这篇评论文章介绍了 SOFC 技术的一些最新趋势以及挑战和未来前景。简要描述了平面和管状 SOFC 的制备技术。最后,这篇评论文章介绍了 SOFC 技术的一些最新趋势以及挑战和未来前景。
