As for MCFC, internal reforming in SOFCs is possible over the anode catalyst partial oxidation reactions and direct oxidation of the fuel have also been found to occur [24—28]. Different concepts for solid oxide fuel cells have been developed over the years. Flat plates have an easier stack possibility, while tubular designs have a smaller sealing problem. Monolithic plates and even single-chamber designs have been considered and investigated for SOFC use [29-31]. 

Solid oxide fuel cell technology has been reviewed from the point of view of lowering the operation temperatures. This process is closely related with the development of new materials, processing techniques, and stack designs. The most striking fact is that the recent achievement by Kyocera may indicate the start of a new era in the development and demonstration of SOFC systems for stationary applications.
