Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) have been emerged as a viable technology to convert chemical
energy of fuels to electrical energy efficiently and environmentally friendly. However, some
issues hinder the successful implementation of SOFC in industrial scales, such as elevated
operating temperature, electrochemical stability, high costs associated with materials and
interconnectors. To facilitate SOFCs commercialization, Low Temperature-SOFC (LT-SOFC)
technology has been introduced. Various materials for core components of the LT-SOFC
have been suggested and their performances are investigated. However, operating LTSOFC
faces challenges such as low ionic conductivity of electrolytes and slow rate of the
oxygen reduction reaction. These obstacles can be overcome by selecting appropriate
alternative materials that can conduct tasks preferably. Since assessing choices demands
multiple measures, conducting a multi-criteria decision-making approach is inevitable. In
this study, the Analytical Hierarchy Process is used to evaluate criteria and different options
as alternatives for the main constituents of an LT-SOFC.
