This is a review of “Surface-Related Effects Limiting the Performance of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Cathodes” by Edith Bucher (Lehrstuhl fur Physikalische Chemie, Montanuniversitat Leoben, Leoben, Osterreich BHM (2011) Vol. 156(11): 423 – 428.). The reviewed paper intended to investigate the possible reasons for the identified limited durability and optimum performance of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC’S) and in particular the cathode. It is expected that external elements/compounds are responsible for the degradation of the cathode in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
