Recent highlights of solid oxide fuel cell and electrolysis research at DTU Energy

Research on solid oxide concepts has a long tradition at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) of the Technical University of Denmark. It spans from fundamental topics such as materials & electrode development over methodology development for example in micro structural & electrochemical characterization, up to the applied level, where integration of SOC with up- and down-stream processes becomes important. Significant funding from National and European programs supported this research. The presentation will introduce highlights of recent achievements in the areas of (i) materials & electrode development to reach higher activity and better durability, (ii) cell & stack development for lowering costs and increasing robustness, (iii) power to X concepts with special emphasis on X= fuels, (iv) lifetime & diagnostics approaches for accelerating durability studies, and (v) modelling from materials to stack levels aiding lifetime evaluation and designing of stacks & systems.
