https://liten.cea.fr/cea-tech/liten/english/Pages/Medias/News/Hydrogen-Vector/PEMFC-for-heavy-transportation.aspx CEA-Liten (Laboratory of Innovation for New Energy Technologies and Nanomaterials) is the first European institute entirely dedicated to energy transition. Its activities focus on several key areas: solar energy, network management, storage including batteries and hydrogen in a logic of energy efficiency and circular economy. en-US https://liten.cea.fr/cea-tech/liten/english/PublishingImages/Home/CEA-Liten-Logo.png https://liten.cea.fr/cea-tech/liten/english https://www.cea.fr/cea-tech/liten/english/Pages/Medias/News/2026/3D-modeling-electrochemistry.aspx A study recently selected as Editor’s Choice 2025 in the journal Electrochimica Acta provides new insight into the mechanisms of electrode degradation in solid oxide cells (SOCs). Through a combination of 3D simulations and electrochemical modeling, the CEA-Liten teams have identified concrete mechanisms to increase the durability of this key technology for producing low-carbon hydrogen.

However, this requires adapting their components to withstand these harsher operating conditions. Tasked with developing a Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA), researchers at CEA-Liten have already reported promising results.

As it turns out, their performance is similar to that of the benchmark MEAs for this project.

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/Hydrogen-Vector/Dehydrogenation-coupling-LOHC-SOFC-fuel-cell-production-hydrogen-clean-electricity.aspx As part of the European Unlohcked project, we are working with our international partners to study innovative liquid organic carriers (LOHCs) as a promising technology for transporting and storing hydrogen in liquid form...
