Activation of solid oxide cell electrodes by electrocatalytic agents for enhanced energy conversion efficiency at reduced temperatures

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.
