Abstract: | Steam electrolysis (H2O → H2 + 0.5O2) was investigated in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). The electrochemical performance of GDC-impregnated Ni-YSZ and 0.5% wt Rh-GDC-impregnated Ni-YSZ was compared to a composite Ni-YSZ and Ni-GDC electrode using a three-electrode set-up. The electrocatalytic activity in electrolysis mode of the Ni-YSZ electrode was enhanced by GDC impregnation. The Rh-GDC-impregnated Ni-YSZ exhibited significantly improved performance, and the electrode exhibited comparable performance between the SOEC and SOFC modes, close to the performance of the composite Ni-GDC electrode. The performance and durability of a single cell GDC-impregnated Ni-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ with an H2 electrode support were investigated. The cell performance increased with increasing temperature (700 °C-800 °C) and exhibited comparable performance with variation of the steam-to-hydrogen ratio (50/50 to 90/10). The durability in the electrolysis mode of the Ni-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ cell was also significantly improved by the GDC impregnation (200 h, 0.1 A/cm2, 800 °C, H2O/H2 = 70/30). |
