In-Situ X-RAY diffraction studies for the LaSrFeO3-Ba(Ce,Zr)O3 cathode composite / Muhammad Adlan Faris Nor Azizan

Owing to its high-power performance, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is highly efficient in energy production. However, its high operation temperatures ranging from 800℃ to 1000℃ increase the cost which prevents its applications from expanding. Proton conducting fuel cell (PCFC) was developed, as it ca...
