| Abstract Scope |
Proton Conducting Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (p-SOEC) represent an emerging and attractive technology for hydrogen production through water electrolysis at intermediate temperatures. Economically competitive p-SOEC systems offer distinct advantages in terms of materials and operational efficiency. However, further technological development and broader market acceptance will require continuous innovation in materials and structures to improve cell performance, enhance system longevity, and reduce costs. In this talk, we will present advancements in p-SOEC technology achieved through materials research and development, interface engineering, and cell fabrication and manufacturing at INL. We also highlight how support from the Department of Energy (DOE) through the HydroGEN, Lab call and TCF program accelerates progress up the technology readiness level. |
