The history and the state of the art of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFC)is reviewed in this paper.Itdescribes mainly on the material selection,structure design and technological economics of SOFC.The appli-cation of great amount of rare earth materials in SOFC may well extend the market potential of rare earthmaterials in the world.A research project to be carried out as early as possible in China on the SOFC tech-nology will be far-reaching.
