So fuel-cells
Solid oxide fuel cells are made of ceramic plates packed into multilayer disks. Each cell consists of an anode, cathode, and electrolyte. They operate at very high temperatures between 800 to 1000 degrees Celsius. Hydrocarbons like methane are oxidized at the anode while oxygen is reduced at the cathode, creating an ionic current through the electrolyte. Solid oxide fuel cells can be used in power plants and have efficiencies as high as 70%.
