The reason was because, as I'm sure you know, higher heat =
higher electrical resistance.
Older SOFC designs use the electrolyte layer as a structural support, but the thicker component has
a higher electrical resistance, which entails higher operating temperatures to avoid power losses, Wachsman explains.
They are particularly appreciated for their stiffness, extreme resistance to high temperature,
high electrical resistance / breakdown voltage and resistance to corrosion.
Not exact matches
The most celebrated quantum materials are the
high - temperature superconductors discovered in the 1980s, so named for their ability to conduct
electrical current without
resistance at temperatures well above those of traditional superconductors.
Strange metals include
high - temperature superconductors, which have no
electrical resistance at all below a critical temperature that is generally defined as above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (196 °C).
A film with
higher resistance has lower
electrical conductivity, meaning that more voltage must be applied to send a signal through it, which further degrades the material.
These perovskites display what is called colossal magnetoresistance: their
electrical resistance changes dramatically when exposed to a magnetic field, which makes them ideal for
high - capacity data storage.
More specifically, the ground - penetrating radar and
electrical resistance tomography measurements provided
high - resolution information about the thickness of the active layer and water content.
