Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Science and Engineering

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Science and Engineering, 1st Edition, delivers a comprehensive, structured reference on high-temperature electrochemical energy principles, functional cell materials, and device architectures. Edited by Kongfa Chen, San Ping Jiang, and Jiujun Zhang, this volume establishes essential foundational knowledge spanning fundamental physical mechanisms and practical device construction.

The text systematically presents operational electrochemistry principles, focusing on solid-state electrochemistry phenomena, surface chemistry, surface segregation behavior, and primary electrode kinetics including oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation reactions. Content extends to component materials engineering, evaluating technical composition and structural requirements for fuel cell cathodes, anodes, high-temperature sealants, and conductive interconnect materials.

Theoretical modeling and numerical simulation techniques receive dedicated coverage for both solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis cell configurations. This treatment provides direct academic support for senior undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students pursuing advanced coursework and technical study in electrochemistry and fuel cells.
