Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are capable of providing high energy efficiency and fuel flexibility leading to use of hydrogen and hydrocarbons due to high operation temperature (600–800°C). Recently, ammonia (NH3) is considered as one of the most promising hydrogen carriers because of great advantages of zero-carbon emission, a high hydrogen content and worldwide infrastructures established for production, transport and storage. Thus, much effort has been given to directly utilize ammonia as a fuel for SOFCs, so called direct ammonia (DA)-SOFCs in which the fuel is decomposed hydrogen and nitrogen, and the released hydrogen is electrochemically oxidized in the anode consecutively. Thus, DA-SOFCs are believed to accomplish a CO2-free power generation with high efficiency. In this study, the current status on the development of SOFCs fed with ammonia, and strategical approaches to overcome technical issues limiting the development of DA-SOFCs will be introduced. In addition, results on the application of an exsolution catalyst to decompose the fuel in the anode of DA-SOFCs are present, which has proven the feasibility of ammonia fuel for high performance and reliable SOFCs.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
