High-temperature fuel cells and electrolyzer cells

The high-temperature programme introduces oxide cells, i.e., solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC). The main topics are as follows:

Materials: electrolyte & electrodes
Cell and stack designs
Manufacturing
Characterisation
Modelling
Degradation
System technology

Note that the programme shares a number of the overarching lectures as well. Here are the topics

Brief introduction to fuel cells, electrolyzers and batteries
Thermodynamics and Efficiency
Characterisation Methods
Atomistic Modelling

are covered
