SOFCs oxidize fuels by electrochemical conversion to create electricity, using a solid oxide as the electrolyte between an anode and cathode circuit. While their small size and solid state are attractive attributes, their higher operating temperatures—currently as high as 1,000 °C—can be a major drawback.
