Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell with an electrolyte membrane having one or more layers with interfaces perpendicular to the surfaces of the membrane is provided. The layers can be deposited on vertical walls of holes in a nanoporous membrane until the layers fully fill the holes, thereby forming superlattices in the holes. The final shape of the superlattices in this example will be concentric, laminating layers as seen in a top view looking down on the membrane. According to one aspect, conventional electrodes can be deposited on both sides of the membrane for current collection and surface charge transfer reactions.
