Prime Objectives
⚈ Improvement/development of new more efficient cathodes (H2O electrode) and anodes (air/O2 electrode) primarily for the reaction of H2O electrolysis and in a certain extent for H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis.
⚈ Understanding the reaction mechanisms and processes that cause degradation on both SOEC electrodes, by combining experiments with theoretical modeling over an extended range of operating conditions.
⚈ Solutions and alternatives against degradation of Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells, assisting in the development of new cost-competitive and commercially viable SOECs with improved performance and lifetime.
