Research Summary
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) and Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs) are types of electrochemical devices based on similar principles but designed for different purposes. SOFCs operate as fuel cells, converting chemical energy directly into electrical energy through the oxidation of a fuel (such as hydrogen, methane, or carbon monoxide) at the anode and reduction of oxygen at the cathode. This process generates electricity, heat, and water as byproducts. SOFCs are highly efficient (up to 60-80% electrical efficiency) and can be used for stationary power generation in applications like residential and industrial cogeneration, as well as portable and auxiliary power units. In contrast, SOECs operate in reverse as electrolysis cells, using electrical energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen at elevated temperatures (typically 500-900°C). This process enables the production of hydrogen, which can be used as a clean fuel or as a feedstock for various industrial processes. SOECs are being developed for renewable hydrogen production and energy storage applications, leveraging their efficiency and ability to integrate with renewable energy sources to facilitate the transition towards a sustainable energy economy.
