Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A solid oxide fuel cell includes an anode layer, a cathode layer, and an electrolyte layer partitioning the anode layer and the cathode layer. The anode layer and the cathode layer are of about the same thickness and have about the same coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A solid oxide fuel cell, comprising: an anode bulk (AB) layer; a cathode bulk (CB) layer; an electrolyte layer disposed between the AB layer and the CB layer; an anode functional layer (AFL) disposed between the AB layer and the electrolyte layer; and a cathode functional layer (CFL) disposed between the CB layer and the electrolyte layer, wherein the AB layer and the CB layer have different compositions, wherein the solid oxide fuel cell has an…
