Stanford reseachers have come up with innovations to the solid oxide fuel cell which make it more attractive for use in cars. The most significant drawback of current solid oxide fuel cells is their operating temperature; they typically operate at 1300 F (~700 C) which makes their use in cars unlikely. One of the causes of high operation temperatures is the electolyte layer which, up to now, could not conduct negative oxygen ions without creating a lot of heat.
