SOFC-XX Call for Abstracts

The 20th International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC-XX) is now accepting abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations. The symposium takes place July 11–16, 2027, at the Plaza Heisei in Tokyo, Japan.

SOFC-XX, a leading international conference on high-temperature solid oxide electrochemical energy conversion, invites scientists, engineers, and researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories to share their latest advances in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) science, technology, and commercialization.

Explore the Call for Papers and submit an original extended abstract of up to 2,000 words, accompanied by no more than two image files, by February 1, 2027.

Topics

The symposium will address a broad range of topics, including:

1. Materials for cell components, including electrolytes, electrodes, interconnects, and seals
2. Fabrication methods for cell components, complete cells, and stacks
3. Cell designs, electrochemical performance, and modeling
4. Stack designs and performance
5. Utilization of different fuels, with or without reformation
6. Stationary power generation, transportation, and portable power applications
7. Prototype SOFC and SOEC systems, field-test experience, costs, and commercialization plans

About SOFC-XX

Since 1989, this international symposium has brought together scientists, engineers, and researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories around the world to share results and discuss challenges related to solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers. The forum provides an opportunity to exchange information on the latest scientific and technical developments in SOFCs and SOECs.

SOFC-XX is co-organized by The SOFC Society of Japan and the ECS High-Temperature, Materials, & Processes Division.
