Evolution of the Morphology Near Triple-Phase Boundaries in Ni–Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Electrodes Upon Cathodic Polarization

Jan Van Herle, Marco Cantoni, Arata Nakajo, Guillaume Jeanmonod, Priscilla Caliandro, Giorgio Rinaldi, Lucie Navratilova

Microstructural changes in Ni–yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) near the YSZ electrolyte were examined by three-dimensional (3D) electron microscopy after electrolysis and fuel cell operation up to 10,700 h and 15,000 h, respectively. The depletion of Ni an ...

In-situ experimental benchmarking of solid oxide fuel cell metal interconnect solutions

Stefan Diethelm, Jan Van Herle, Priscilla Caliandro, Manuel Bianco

The progress in the diffusion of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as commercial devices is not paired by literature production. Articles describing the behaviour of SOFC stacks are rare because of confidentiality reasons for commercial suppliers while research ...

Triode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Operation Under Sulfur-Poisoning Conditions

Stefan Diethelm, Jan Van Herle, Priscilla Caliandro

The triode solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a three electrodes configuration. The third electrode, so-called auxiliary, is connected in a way to run in electrolysis mode, while cathode and anode operate in normal fuel cell mode. This mixed operation allows ...
