Whole-chain framework of solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells. This schematic presents a comprehensive whole-chain framework for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), integrating materials, mechanisms, configurations, and system-level applications. The diagram links key cell components—anode/fuel electrode, electrolyte, cathode/air electrode, and interconnectors—with fundamental electrochemical processes such as ion transport, electrode reactions, and cell reactions. It further illustrates how different support structures and cell configurations scale up into complete SOFC and SOEC systems, highlighting the interdependence between materials design, operating mechanisms, and system integration that underpins performance, durability, and practical deployment.
