COVID-19 was identified all over the world as a pandemic in December 2019. This novel coronavirus affects the lower respiratory area, which causes pneumonia in the human body and transfers from human to human. Every day, the number of new patients and the number of deaths are increasing immensely, while specific drugs for this virus are still being developed. Hospitals are struggling to accommodate patients, resulting in a large number of temporary hospitals. These makeshift hospitals need an uninterrupted power supply to continuously maintain all the electrical facilities. Fuel cells, especially solid oxide fuel cells, play an essential role in meeting the additional energy needs of humankind during this critical moment. SOFCs are able to supply power to those makeshift hospitals from the main hospital building, as well as supplying electricity to locked-down residential areas to ease the strain on the electrical grid during this pandemic situation. As a result of their extensive applicability and numerous uses, SOFCs can be used to address electrical needs challenges in various sectors.

COVID-19 大流行期间燃料电池的高级应用

COVID-19 于 2019 年 12 月在全球范围内被确定为大流行。 这种新型冠状病毒影响下呼吸道，导致人体内出现肺炎并在人与人之间传播。每天，新患者的数量和死亡人数都在急剧增加，而针对这种病毒的特定药物仍在开发中。医院难以容纳患者，导致大量临时医院。这些临时医院需要不间断电源来持续维护所有电力设施。燃料电池，尤其是固体氧化物燃料电池，在这个关键时刻满足人类额外的能源需求方面发挥着至关重要的作用。SOFC 能够从主医院大楼为这些临时医院供电，以及为封锁的居民区供电，以缓解疫情期间电网的压力。由于其广泛的适用性和多种用途，SOFC 可用于解决各个部门的电力需求挑战。
