Abstract
The excessive consumption of synthesized materials and enhanced environmental protection protocols necessitate the exploitation of desirable functionalities to handle our solid waste. Through a simple calcination and composite strategy, this work envisages the first application of bio-calcite derived from the waste of crayfish shells as a feasible electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which demonstrates encouraging performances within a low temperature range of 450
