متن کاملInvestigation the performance of solid oxide fuel cells and the role of nanotechnology in its construction
Nanotechnology is well used in the development and performance improvement of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The high operating temperature of SOFCs (700-900 ° C) has led to serious shortcomings in their overall performance and durability. Hence, the high operating temperature has been reduced to the average temperature range of approximately 44-700 Celsius, which has improved performance and ...
