	abstract = {The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has existed for almost 100 years. The research
		on SOFC started as early as the 1930s, with the most prominent work of Baur and
		his colleagues particularly driven by the discovery of appreciable ionic conductivity
		of the so called Nernst mass ¿ doped zirconia. However, this type of fuel cell only
		obtained strong interest from the 1970s. It seemingly holds potential for electrical
		efficiencies as high as 55%; up to 70% and 90% in hybrid configuration with gas
		turbines and combined heat & power (CHP) generation, respectively. The SOFC
		has the potential for application in transportation, too, for example, in vehicular
		auxiliary power units (APU). Current SOFC technology demonstrates viable manufacture,
		feasible power ranges and applications. This has been accompanied by
		developments of new concepts, cell and stack designs, advanced and cost effective
		processing methods and improved and novel materials.
		The SOFC, like other fuel cells, is an electrochemical device for the conversion of
		chemical energy of a fuel into electricity and heat.
