Mechanical Characterization of Energy Materials at DTU Energy

Due to the ever growing demand for sustainable energy alternatives, increasing the efficiency as well as reliability of energy conversion and storage technologies is becoming paramount challenge for the research community in the field. To achieve this, the innovation of new material systems should go hand in hand with understanding and improving their mechanical reliability at operational conditions. With this regard, DTU energy has a dedicated team and facilities working on characterization of metallic as well as ceramic materials used in energy conversion and storage technologies. The poster presents the unique capabilities in the department including high throughput and high temperature strength and deformational behavior characterization of materials in a controlled atmosphere. The characterization techniques mainly focus on materials being developed to be used in solid oxide fuel or electrolysis cells, oxygen or gas membranes, etc.
