| Abstract Scope |
Advanced glass and ceramic materials play a key role in enhanced efficiency and durable electrochemical energy conversion systems, such as reversible solid oxide cells (SOCs). Improving the stability of different interfaces is one of the key factors to enable the development of highly-performing SOCs. The surface modification of the interconnect is a viable solution to enhance the mechanical performance of the interconnect-glass sealing joint (for pressurised operation) and limit possible detrimental reactions during the long-term operation of the stack. This presentation will review current solutions and challenges related to the design, processing, microstructure-property-performance relations of different glass and ceramic-based systems and their integration process, specifically developed in the field of hydrogen-related technologies. The aim is to show how advanced glass and ceramic-based materials offer huge potential for disruptive innovations in the field of energy conversion, pointing out some unanswered questions about their durability, reliability and perspectives for further research |
