Solid oxide electrochemical cell (SOC) technology, such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) for distributed power generation and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) for hydrogen production, increasingly attracts interest from the research community due to its advantages of efficient direct conversion of energy and environmentally benign operation. The conventional SOCs using oxygen-ion conducting electrolytes suffer from many challenges associated with high operating temperature (typically above 750°C), which not only results in fast degradation but also problems, such as expensive refractory materials in the system components, less competitive cost, slow start-up, and burden on thermal insulation.
