“…Numerous scholars have reviewed SOFC technology development between 2001 and 2017. Topics considered in such reviews are outlined as follows: status and design selection of anode materials for SOFCs [13][14][15][16][17]; sealants for SOFCs [18]; vacuum deposition methods for SOFCs [19]; optimization of set-up and operating conditions for single-chamber SOFCs [20]; numerical and mathematical modelling of SOFCs [21][22][23][24][25][26]; Ni-YSZ cermet anode materials and alternative materials [27]; requirements of power electronics in SOFC systems [28]; power generation by SOFCs [29,30], [31]; mathematical analysis of SOFCs [32]; micro-electro-mechanical system fabrication, machining techniques, and electrospinning for SOFCs [32,33]; nanostructured anodes for SOFCs [34]; glass-based seals for SOFCs [35]; integration strategies for SOFCs including pressurized SOFC + Brayton cycle, non-pressurized SOFC + Brayton cycle, pressurized SOFC + Brayton cycle + air reheating, SOFC + PEMFC, SOFC + absorption refrigeration cycle, and SOFC + thermos-photovoltaic power generation [36]; metal-supported SOFC design [37]; SOFCs operating under electrolysis mode [24,38]; cathode-supported tubular SOFC designs [39]; SOFC control [40]; gas transport phenomena in porous electrodes of SOFCs [41]; chromium deposition and poisoning of SOFC cathodes [42]; and biomass as the energy source of ammonia-fed SOFCs [43,44]. The aforementioned studies involved review papers instead of individual research papers.…”

Renewable and sustainable energy technologies must undergo commercialization before contributing to people's sustainable development. Among different approaches, commercialization to become unicorn start-ups has attracted considerable attention. Unicorn start-ups are companies achieving a valuation of over US$1 billion before launching initial public offerings. Herein, a company adopting solid oxide fuel cells as its single product and becoming a unicorn start-up is considered the case company (Company B). Established in 2001, Company B accumulated US$825.7 million of actual funding and a peak valuation of US$2.9 billion before being publicly listed. After being listed in July 2018, Company B achieved unicorn start-up status. Searching ScienceDirect Online and the IEEE/IET Electronic Library, this. study collects reviews of fuel cell technology development trends. From CB insights, the study collects the timing and amount of funding received by fuel cell-related unicorn start-ups worldwide. The Derwent Innovation (DI) tool is employed to analyze the status of fuel cell-related patent applications of these unicorn start-ups. This study integrates technology review, business status, and patent application data for analysis. Unlike previous technology reviews focusing on researches and developments, this study emphasizes the analysis of intellectual-property-based (IP-based) commercialization strategies. Specifically, it analyzes key factors explaining how a company producing solid oxide fuel cells could transform into a unicorn start-up. These factors are compiled into a ladder framework to provide a reference. Five quantitative indices are promoted. From the managerial point of view, this framework provides an executable guideline for effectively transforming sustainable energy technology into a high-valuation unicorn start-up.
