The SOFCRoll (1, 2) is a new solid oxide fuel cell design being developed at the University of St Andrews. Tape casting, cheap and easily scalable, is utilised as the production technique, and co-firing as a single unit further reduces the cost and time of the cell production. The SOFCRoll geometry eliminates the need for thicker support components, resulting in higher power densities and small space requirements. This paper describes an overview of current SOFCRoll development, together with some predicted power output expectations.
