介绍了世界领先的阴极支撑管式固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）技术。从SOFC的基本组成开始阐述SOFC的工作原理、优点、类型及应用。作为SOFC的一个重要分支，重点讨论了阴极支撑管式SOFC，详细介绍了其工艺创新、材料、制备工艺，以及传统的圆管（cylindrical）和扁管电池的电性能。然后对过去半个世纪以来西门子/西屋公司制造并且示范验证的SOFC发电系统进行了详细的总结。

This review provides a close look into the world leading cathodes-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. It starts from the basic facts of a SOFC, where the working principle, advantages, types and applications are specifically discussed. It then focuses on cathode-supported tubular SOFCs, one important branch of SOFCs, by providing detailed information on engineering innovations, materials advances, manufacturing processes and electrical performance of both traditional cylindrical and flattened ribbed tubular cells. The review ends with a high-level summary on the SOFC generator systems manufactured and demonstrated by Siemens/Westinghouse over the past half-century.
