Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Microscopic film layers are highly efficient and
compact.

Technology
- Lower
Temp. Breakthrough in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells - SOFCs usually run hot
-- as high as 1000° C. Researchers at CalTech have achieved a run
temperature of 600° C, which will also help bring price down. (PhysOrg;

 Cool
Fuel Cells Could Revolutionize Earth's Energy Resources - University
of Houston breakthrough in thin film SOFCs enables more efficient (65%) and
compact energy generation capacity. A unit the size of two cans of soda
would produce more than 5 kW, enough to power a typical household. (SpaceDaily;
July 23, 2004)- New
Technology Heralds Smaller, Cooler Fuel Cells - New technology in
thin film solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) currently being refined at the
University of Houston (UH) could make cheap, efficient fuel cells a reality.
Originating from research at UH's Texas Center for Superconductivity and
Advanced Materials (TcSAM), these SOFCs of the "thin film" variety
are both efficient and compact. (Science a Gogo; July 26, 2004)
