A lot of energy is being produced by the heat generated. This heat is used to produce further electricity using a turbine, thus increasing the efficiency of the SOFC even more.

The process requires high temperatures. How are the necessary temperatures achieved and how much energy is used?

This seems to be a good development especially the use of ceramics in the cell.But as it is rightly pointed out in the article, the seals are of utmost importance in this technology because of the high temperatures involved.

All the best wishes to Lu to develop this further and to commercialize it.
