A 30‐cell solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) stack consisting of 30‐cell planar Ni–YSZ hydrogen electrode‐supported single cell with La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3–δ–Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (LSCF–GDC) composite oxygen electrodes, interconnects, and sealing materials was tested at 750 °C in steam electrolysis mode for hydrogen production. The direction of gas flow in the stack was a cross‐flow configuration, and the stack configuration was designed to open gas flow channels at the air outlet. The electrolysis efficiency of the stack was higher than 100% at 90/10H2O/H2 ratio under <0.5 A cm−2 current density. During hydrogen production, the stack was operated at 750 °C under 0.5 A cm−2 constant current density for more than 500 h with 4.06% k h−1 degradation rate. Up to 73% steam conversion rate and 91.6% current efficiency were obtained; the net hydrogen production rate reached as high as 361.4 NL h−1. Our results suggested that the SOE stack that was designed with LSCF–GDC composite oxygen electrode could be used to conduct large‐scale hydrogen production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
