Description

The joint project is aimed to develop the procedures for surface modification and activation of electrodes of solid electrolyte fuel/electrolysis cells in order to enhance electrochemical performance and to reduce operating temperature seeking lower system cost and long-term durability. The main objectives of proposed research include enhancement of electrochemical performance of commercial-grade anode-supported solid electrolyte cells through surface modification of oxygen electrode by impregnating electrocatalytic agents, demonstration of the feasibility of activation of the functional layer of fuel electrode with pre-reduced support, demonstration of the possibility to reduce operating temperature down to 650°C without losses in electrochemical performance, and assessment of the intermediate-term operation stability of activated electrodes. The project supports the mobility of young researchers and is aligned with EU Green Deal and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
