Protonic Ceramic Cells (PCC)

We study proton-conductive ceramic cells for applications in steam electrolysis for H2 production at intermediate temperature (≤ 600°C). PCCs are cutting-edge cells, whose long-term behavior, electrodes kinetics, and optimal materials are still subject of research. We test cells, synthesize novel electrodes materials, and develop physical models that quantitatively describe the behavior of single PCCs.
