Abstract Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are efficient and flexible electrochemical energy conversion devices that can power the future green society with regards to homes, cars, even down portable electronics. They do have potential become low cost, since no noble metals used. Their broad commercialization, however, is hampered by high operating temperatures of 700–900 ° C. Lowering temperature SOFCs challenging as both charge transport in solid electrolyte oxygen exchange reactions...
Abstract Severe degradation of Ni‐YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia) electrodes solid oxide cells (SOCs) due to Ni migration is well known, but the literature contains apparent contradictions. The mechanisms are still under debate. Fine structured composite often degrade at operation temperature (700–950°C), because particles lose electrical contact with each other as larger Ni‐particles grow on expense smaller ones. Another type migration, which may be very damaging, relocation in most active...

Anode-supported thin electrolyte cells are studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

An equivalent circuit consisting an inductance, serial resistance , and five arcs polarization suggested. This based on previous studies single electrodes in three-electrode two-electrode symmetric cell setups. components have been assigned electrode...

Samples of interacting nanosized maghemite particles have been studied by M\"ossbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements. The apparent blocking temperatures obtained from zero-field-cooled curves are nearly identical, but the values measurements decay remanence much lower. These results not in accordance with N\'eel model for superparamagnetic relaxation, can be explained formation an ordered spin-glass-like state at low temperatures. At a critical temperature transition to takes...

Ni/yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) supported solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) were exposed to long-term galvanostatic tests, under different testing conditions (temperature, gas composition, current density etc.) with an emphasis on high (above −1 A/cm2). Detailed post-mortem characterizations carried out investigate microstructural changes after focusing the Ni/YSZ electrode. Formation of ZrO2 nano-particles Ni surfaces was observed in or −1.5 A/cm2 at 800 850°C, but not those tested...
Abstract This paper deals with degradation mechanisms of Ni–YSZ electrodes for solid oxide cells, mainly electrolysis cells (SOECs), but also to some extent fuel (SOFCs). Analysis literature data reveals that several apparently different and even in one case contradicting phenomena are a consequence interplay between loss contact the (and Ni–Ni particles) active fine‐structured composite electrode layer migration Ni via weakly oxidized hydroxide species. A hypothesis unravels apparent...
Despite various advantages of high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) over their low-temperature competitors, the insufficient long-term durability has prevented commercialization SOECs. Here, we address this challenge by employing two nanoengineered electrodes. The O2 electrode consists a La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSC) and Gd,Pr-co-doped CeO2 (CGPO) nanocomposite coating deposited on Gd-doped (CGO) scaffold, H2 comprises Ni/yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) modified with nanogranular...
The transportation sector is undergoing a technology shift from internal combustion engines to electric motors powered by secondary Li-based batteries.

This aspect particularly true in case heavy freight long-range transportation, where solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer an attractive alternative as they can provide high-efficiency flexible choices. SOFC mainly used for stationary...
