Performance Behavior

The performance behavior of solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) was investigated. Initial performance of the cell as solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) mode at 800°C was measured as 0.15 W/cm2. The SOEC showed the stable performance during 5 hours operation at −0.15A/cm2. The power for electrolysis was increased during the first 30 minutes operation due to the increase of internal resistance of the cell. After 5 hours operation, the degradation rate of SOEC performance was about 3% due to redox reaction of hydrogen electrode.

Electrolysis Mode

The electrochemical performance of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) having nickel – yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) hydrogen electrode and a composite lanthanum strontium manganite – YSZ (La0.8Sr0.2MnO3−δ – YSZ) oxygen electrodes has been studied over a range of operating conditions temperature (700 to 900°C). Increasing temperature significantly increased electrochemical performance and hydrogen generation efficiency. Durability studies of the cell in electrolysis mode were made over 200 h periods (0.1 A/cm2, 800°C, and H2O/H2 = 70/30). The cell significantly degraded over the time (2.5 mV/h). Overpotentials of various SOEC electrodes were evaluated. Ni-YSZ as a hydrogen electrode exhibited higher activity in SOFC mode than SOEC mode while Ni/Ru-GDC presented symmetrical behavior between fuel cell and electrolysis mode and gave lower losses when compared to the Ni-YSZ electrode. All the oxygen electrodes gave higher activity for the cathodic reaction than the anodic reaction. Among the oxygen electrodes in this study, LSM-YSZ exhibited nearest to symmetrical behavior between cathodic and anodic reaction. Durability studies of the electrodes in electrolysis mode were made over 20–70 h periods. Performance degradations of the oxygen electrodes were observed (3.4, 12.6 and 17.6 mV/h for LSM-YSZ, LSCF and LSF, respectively). The Ni-YSZ hydrogen electrode exhibited rather stable performance while the performance of Ni/Ru-GDC decreased (3.4 mV/h) over the time. This was likely a result of the reduction of ceria component at high operating voltage.

The solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) has been receiving increasing research and attention worldwide due to its potential usage for large-scale production of hydrogen. Tape casting and lamination technique were successfully used to fabricate the NiO-YSZ hydrogen electrode substrate cermets of planar solid oxide electrolysis cell. In this paper the green tape with thickness of 350μm was prepared by tape casting and then the lamination was used to obtain the required thickness for the NiO-YSZ hydrogen electrode-supported electrolyte cermets. The rheological properties of the suspensions with NiO-YSZ and YSZ were studied, respectively. The optimal temperature and pressure of the lamination were determined, and four direction of lamination mode was used according to tape casting direction to obtain symmetrical and even hydrogen electrode-supported electrolyte after co-sintering. Pore-formers were used to increase the porosity of the hydrogen electrode. The green tape was analyzed by TG-DSC analysis, the microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscope. The electrochemical performance of unit cell was measured at 850°C.

Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells

High temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE) through solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC), a promising high-efficiency and zero-emission way to large-scale hydrogen production, has been received increasingly international interest. The hydrogen production efficiency of HTSE is more than 50%. In this paper, the electrochemical performance and microstructure change of single button cells operating in both fuel cell (SOFC) and electrolysis modes (SOEC) were studied at 850°C. Also, the degradation mechanisms of hydrogen electrodes were investigated. The results showed that OCV decreased from 0.944 V to 0.819 V when the steam content increased from 20% to 80%. The voltage began to increase rapidly at relatively higher current density for lower steam content because of steam starvation; however, steam starvation did not occur at higher steam content. The ASR data decreased from 1.68 to 0.645Ωcm2 with the increase of steam contents, while steam content had little effect on ASR data in SOFC mode. The polarization loss of the single cell was higher in electrolysis mode than that in fuel cell mode. The microstructure of the hydrogen electrode changed obviously after electrolysis process. Furthermore, the performance degraded at high steam partial pressure due to the oxidation of Ni grains at the interface of hydrogen electrode.
