Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer high efficiency and fuel adaptability but face challenges like high operating temperatures and material degradation. This study focuses on innovative solutions, including doped ceria-based electrolytes with ionic conductivity of 0.1 S/cm at 600°C, reducing operating temperature by 200°C and extending lifespan by 29.15%. Composite anodes with hierarchical pores achieved a power density of 1.2 W/cm2 (25% improvement) and maintained stability over 5000 h with <1% degradation per 1000 h. Hybrid integration with micro gas turbines improved efficiency to 69.48% (14.28% increase) and cut CO₂ emissions by 21%, advancing SOFC viability as sustainable energy solution.
