Abstract
Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are high-efficiency electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices capable of operating in both fuel cell and electrolyzer modes. However, their commercialization is hindered by insufficient durability and reliability. The air electrodes, crucial for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR and OER), significantly impact the performance and durability of SOCs, especially at low temperatures. This review focuses on the innovative use of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) for fabricating and optimizing air electrodes. PLD offers precise control over film composition, morphology, and microstructure, making it a promising technique for enhancing SOC performance. The review delves into the unique advantages of PLD, including its ability to tailor electrode microstructure and investigate degradation mechanisms. By exploring the latest advancements and future perspectives of PLD technology, this review provides valuable insights into developing more durable and efficient air electrodes for SOCs.
