“…Wang et al [107] proposed a diesel-powered SOFC-STIG hybrid model with a chemical looping hydrogen generation system that achieved an exergetic efficiency of 60%. Internal combustion engines connected with SOFCs for combined operation have shown improved efficiency and faster dynamic response compared to standalone engines [108,109]. All the discussed hybrid systems depend on hydrogen generation systems that generate emissions.…”

The increasing global dependence on fossil fuels for energy has prompted researchers to explore alternative power generation sources that offer higher efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and low environmental impact. Developed countries have been making continuous efforts to reduce their reliance on depleting fossil fuel sources to curb carbon emissions. As a result, hydrogen has gained significant attention among researchers as a potential future fuel that meets all the necessary criteria. Many countries aiming for a hydrogen economy have invested in research on fuel cells. Among various fuel cells, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has emerged as a commercially viable power source at a small scale. This paper provides an extensive review of the components, materials, design, operation, and integration strategies of SOFCs with existing thermal-based power plants. The performance and prospects of various SOFCs in standalone and hybrid modes are summarized, along with the limitations. Additionally, the research and commercialization efforts that can enhance the potential applications of SOFCs as a sustainable and reliable system in the long term are outlined.

“…These studies are often based on the premise of fixed behavior mode of low-carbon actors, ignoring the impact of internal and external interaction mechanism on the low-carbon transformation process. Existing articles on the carbon trading market have conducted in-depth discussions on the impact of external factors such as carbon trading policies and economic indicators, but there is also a lack of interaction mechanisms between entities [21][22][23]. In fact, the government, enterprises and verification agencies are not static in the low-carbon conversion work.…”

This paper explores the effect of carbon trading on low-carbon transformation of high energy consumption enterprises in China. Based on the mechanism of interaction and restriction among high energy consumption enterprises, carbon verification agencies and the government, a tripartite evolutionary game model is constructed. The three-dimensional dynamic system is built to analyze the behavior patterns of the three parties. The evolution path of the tripartite game is visualized, and the low-carbon transformation states of high energy consumption enterprises in different situations are described. The results show that the high energy consumption enterprises, verification organization and the government cannot reach the optimal game equilibrium (low-carbon transformation, verification and supervision) temporarily when seeking their own interests. The corresponding measures should be taken with different situations of the tripartite game. No matter what strategy the government chooses, the low-carbon transformation could be promoted by carbon trading through carbon verification mechanism.

“…The demand for shipborne UAVs with long endurance, high reliability, and environmental protection has increased, leading to growing interest in developing efficient and clean power systems that contribute to the goal of carbon neutrality [11,12]. SOFCs are a promising technology for powering shipborne UAVs due to their fuel flexibility, high energy efficiency, and low emissions compared to traditional ICEs or battery power supply systems [13,14]. Ammonia is a promising alternative fuel for SOFCs because of its high energy density, low toxicity, and low cost, and it can be produced sustainably from renewable sources [15,16].…”

Ammonia is being considered as a promising alternative to hydrogen fuel in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) due to its stability and ease of storage and transportation. This study investigates the feasibility of using ammonia fuel in a tubular SOFC for shipborne unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paper develops a 3D model of a tubular-anode-supported SOFC single cell and conducts numerical simulations to analyze the impact of different operating conditions on SOFC performance. The study optimizes the SOFC’s performance by adjusting its working parameters and overall structure, revealing that increasing temperature and porosity enhance performance, but excessively high values can cause deterioration and instability in the cell. The study also finds that the cathode-supported (CS)-SOFC outperforms the anode-supported (AS)-SOFC, mainly due to its thicker cathode layer, providing better sealing and oxygen supply, resulting in a more uniform current density distribution. The paper provides valuable insights into the potential use of ammonia fuel for shipborne UAVs and offers a foundation for future research and development in the field of SOFCs. The results indicate that increasing the temperature and porosity of the SOFC can enhance battery performance, but excessive values can cause deterioration and instability in the cell. The study also highlights the impact of different operating conditions on SOFC performance, with a significant performance improvement observed in the range of 0.6–0.8 V. Additionally, the CS-SOFC outperforms the AS-SOFC due to its thicker cathode layer, but both have significant potential for development.
