Using molten metal anodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells based on oxygen-ion conducting electrolytes is a very promising technique for the transfer of oxygen from the electrolyte to solid carbonaceous fuels directly. The molten Sb/Sb2O3 anode has very low impedance for fuel oxidation at intermediate SOFC temperatures of 973K.
