xvi High Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Fundamentals, Design and Applications

As in any book written by multiple authors, there may be some duplication
of information or even minor contradiction in interpretation of various
electrochemical phenomena and results from chapter to chapter. However,
this has been kept to a minimum by the editors. Also, in the interest of making
the book available in a reasonable time, it has not been possible to provide
uniformity in the nomenclature and symbols from chapter to chapter: we
apologise for that.
Many of our colleagues in the SOFC community provided useful comments and
reviews on some ofthe chapters and we are thankful to them. The encouragement
and financial support of the United States Department of Energy-Fossil Energy
(through Dr. Mark Williams, National Energy Technology Laboratory) to one of
the editors (SCS) is deeply appreciated. We are also grateful to Ms. Jane Carlson,
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, for her administrative support during
the editing of the chapters.
