Water Splitting Technology: p-SOEC - Proton-Conducting Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells

Status: Awarded

Abstract: This project will increase the technology readiness level of proton-conducting solid oxide electrolyzer systems by simultaneously addressing the major fundamental barriers to higher-performance cells while increasing cell size and manufacturing scalability. The state-of-the-art will be extended to larger active area cells and stacks via scalable manufacturing processes. This project will conclude with independent stack testing and validation at national Labs.
