Abstract

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are a key component of the future energy landscape. Although there is considerable research on the physical properties and technology of classic oxide materials for electrode and electrolytes in SOFCs, the field is very active as new experimental and theoretical techniques are now available that can improve these systems. In the present review, we consider key systems such as perovskite-related materials, the impact of strain and interfaces and advanced concepts that can improve the properties of SOFC materials. In particular, we consider the oxygen diffusion properties of perovskite-related materials and focus on La2NiO4+δ and the double perovskites such as GdBaCo2O5.5. Then, we review the importance of interfaces and strain as a way to engineer defect processes. Finally, we consider advanced concepts to form designed structures that explore the effect of local high entropy on lattice stabilization.
