| Abstract Scope |
The objective of this work is to accelerate the discovery, optimization, and scalable manufacturing of steam-stable proton-conducting electrolytes and fast water-splitting steam electrodes for protonic ceramic electrolysis cells (PCEs) by integrating high-throughput experimentation with data-driven modeling. High-throughput is achieved by reducing cell fabrication time by using modified sol-gel processes, Ultra-Fast High-Temperature Sintering (UHS), and rapid electrochemical testing of symmetrical cells. Conventional sintering techniques involve prolonged thermal exposure at high temperatures, resulting in high energy consumption and extended processing times. UHS, as an alternative approach, reduces energy consumption and cuts multiple-day processing time to a few minutes. Standard PCE electrolytes and electrodes were sintered with UHS to fabricate symmetrical cells which were then evaluated for performance using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements on a modular test stand. |
