However, a cost-competitive, zero-carbon hydrogen technology that can operate in both fuel-cell mode to produce electricity and in electrolyzer mode to produce hydrogen will be needed for widespread deployment to become a reality. The solid oxide electrolyzer/fuel cell (SOEC/SOFC) has emerged as a high-yield, reversible, and affordable solution. ​ Hydrogen ; Solid oxide fuel cells Researchers ; Companies ; Institutions Liten News solid oxide;SOFC;electrolyzer;fuel cell;AxesH2;chromium;electrode;hydrogen;SOEC; Thu, 05 Dec 2024 11:00:00 GMT https://www.cea.fr/cea-tech/liten/english/Pages/Medias/News/2024/Hydrogen-DFT-calculations-atomic-scale-phenomena-SOEC-electrodes.aspx ​The ability to produce low-carbon, low-cost hydrogen at scale is vital to the development of a viable hydrogen industry. CEA-Liten is focusing its efforts on a high-yield hydrogen production technology called high-temperature electrolysis (HTE). To deploy HTE, electrolyzer cell durability is one area that will require further improvement—but it must not come at the cost of lower performance.​ Renewable energies ; Hydrogen Researchers ; Companies ; Institutions Liten News hydrogen;AxesH2;solid-oxide electrolyzer cell;electrodes;atomic-scale;calculations;SOEC;DFT; Mon, 25 Nov 2024 11:00:00 GMT https://www.cea.fr/cea-tech/liten/english/Pages/Medias/News/2024/solar-powered-autonomous-green-methane-production.aspx CEA institutes ISEC, Irig, ISAS, and Liten collaborated on an integrated solar-powered methane production system for the EIC (European Innovation Council) artificial photosynthesis competition.
