By using proton-conducting electrolyte, the SOEC operating temperature can be reduced from over 800oC to below 600oC due to higher conductivity and lower activation energy. Technical barriers associated with the conventional oxygen-ion conducting SOECs, such as hydrogen separation from water, oxidation of steam electrode, and instability of oxygen electrode, can be largely mitigated. In this report, an intermediate temperature (500-600oC) electrolysis technology was developed where a novel proton-conductor and a triple-conducting oxide were used as the electrolyte and oxygen electrode, respectively. The electrolysis cell demonstrated excellent performance at intermediate temperatures, promising a new prospective for next-generation steam electrolysis.}, doi = {10.1149/08009.0167ecst}, url = {http://ecst.ecsdl.org/content/80/9/167.short}, author = {Dong Ding and Wei Wu and Ting He} }
