A mini review of the recent progress of electrode materials for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells

Abstract

exsolution techniques are introduced and their related functionalities are also explained, respectively. While for the cathode, we focus on the perovskite-type materials because of their superior catalytic performance and relatively good stability. The optimization of perovskite composition, including A site alkali or alkali-earth metal doping and B site variable-valence transition metal doping, is discussed in detail based on their effects on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Besides, nanostructure assembly and 3D morphology design are also recent hotspots for cathode research. Finally, we also propose several research directions in this field, hoping to provide guidelines for future research.
