For hydrogen generation, PNNL leads development of solid oxide electrolyzer cells that efficiently break down the bonds in water to produce oxygen and hydrogen gas. Our expertise includes: - new materials for cells, seals, barrier layers, and interconnects - machine learning for identifying new materials - novel, low-cost, high-volume cell and stack fabrication - modeling for cells, stacks, and systems - stack performance and parametric testing - water electrolysis and co-electrolysis of steam and carbon dioxide - cell/stack postmortem characterization.
