| Abstract Scope |
Clean hydrogen production requires ceramic electrolysis cells that are not only efficient, but also durable, manufacturable, and scalable. This talk will focus on manufacturing strategies for protonic ceramic electrolysis cells and solid oxide electrolysis cells, emphasizing how powder processing, sintering, cell fabrication, electrode engineering, and interface control influence device performance and lifetime. Although PCECs and SOECs share common ceramic-processing methods, their different charge carriers, operating environments, water-management pathways, and degradation mechanisms require distinct manufacturing approaches. Drawing from our research on proton-conducting oxides, reduced-temperature ceramic electrochemical cells, interface engineering, and fuel-flexible solid oxide systems, the talk will discuss how microstructure control, processing compatibility, and manufacturability-driven design can bridge laboratory-scale performance and practical clean-hydrogen production. |
