Reversible Solid Oxide Cells
A highly efficient, reversible solid-oxide cell system based on oxygen ion conductors and proton conductors has been utilized for electricity and hydrogen (H2) generation. By using anode-supported SOC as the platform, we are investigating the following technical aspects:
Development of Power Dense Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Stacks
A small, lightweight SOFC system is desired for a multitude of applications. Currently, solid oxide stacks ≥1kW are large, often with power densities less than 500 W/L. We are investigating advanced manufacturing approaches and cell structures to increase stack-level power densities.
Improvement of Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC)
Stack Durability
We are investigating the degradation mechanisms of the electrolyte, electrode, and catalyst materials under electrolysis to provide insight for the rational design of better electrode and catalyst materials.
