Solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells (SOFCs and SOECs) must be engineered with the entire lifetime of their performance in mind. Electrochemical activity will decrease as degradative processes take effect, leading to higher overpotentials and decreased power outputs. Materials science and engineering can stave off these inefficiencies through an understanding...
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are a low-emission, efficient and fuel flexible energy conversion devices, which have been extensively applied in electricity generation systems. Moreover, it can also be operated in electrolysis mode as Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) or Reversible Solid Oxide Cell (ReSOC) for intermittent renewable energy storage....
Rapid changes in global climate are pushing nations to reduce CO2 emissions and adopt clean energy technologies for renewable energy generation and storage. As wind and solar are implemented worldwide, a commensurate response in energy storage will need to be installed to meet fluctuations in peak energy demands and generation...
