“…Because of these high efficiencies, SOFC systems are expected to penetrate the portable, automotive, residential, commercial building markets as well as large power plants [1,2]. Other benefits of SOFCs are that they can operate over a wide range of temperatures (600-1000°C) depending upon the material used and are fuel flexible [3]. Of special interest is the reduction of the operating temperature to the low end of the abovementioned range because it would allow the stack to better tolerate thermal cycling for improved reliability.…”

e motivation of this investigation is to explore the possibility of using the depth profile capability of XPS to study interfaces after SOFC button cell testing. e literature uses XPS to study various cathode materials but has devoted little to the understanding of various cathode interfaces especially after testing. In this work, an SOFC button cell is first tested, and then, the LSCF cathode, barrier layer, and electrolyte are sputtered away to study the behavior of different interfaces. is work has shown that some elements have moved into other layers of the SOFC cell. It is argued that the migration of the elements is partly due to a redeposition mechanism after atoms are sputtered away, while the rest is due to interdiffusion between the SDC and YSZ layers. However, additional work is needed to better understand the mechanism by which atoms move around at different interfaces. e cell electrochemical performance is also discussed in some details but is not the focus.

“…For instance, van der Heide reports a study of lanthanum-strontium-based perovskite where different binding energies are observed for surface and bulk elements. Several samples of ABO 3 were tested where La and Sr occupy the A site. e B site consisted of mixtures of Fe/Ga, Fe/Co, Fe/Cr, Co/Ga, or Co only [7].…”

“…Such fast ion conductors are interesting materials for electrolyte membranes in ceramic fuel cells, electrolyzers, and solid state batteries. 23 With respect to hydrogen as solar fuel and its use in electrolyzers and fuel cells, proton conducting membranes are interesting. 24,25 They operate at around 400 °C, whereas oxygen ion conductors operate at 800 °C.…”

As materials science is becoming components development and systems technology, hydrogen economy is approaching your porch. Welcome!Hydrogen mobility can now be purchased from the shelf. Fuel cell electric vehicles from various well-known car manufacturers are now available. The number of hydrogen filling stations in Europe is increasing at a rate that long-distance tours become less and less adventurous. The efforts of fuel cell researchers have paid off. Suppliers of components and systems for hydrogen infrastructure are anticipating business.Meanwhile, basic science in electrochemistry and materials research is continuing, with surprises such as the discovery of a proton polaron which are adding to the progress in fundamental understanding of energy materials in operation. Has the long awaited hydrogen economy finally arrived?Keywords: hydrogenation; energy storage; neutron scattering CommenTARy DISCUSSIon PoInT• Hydrogen economy is not impeded by scientific or technological shortcomings. The challenge is only one of political, social, and ultimately mental nature. Competition against traditional energy carriers is the challenge.

“…SOFCs are conventionally used for high-temperature at temperatures around 800 -1000°C depending on process demands [1]. Studies on this field have resulted in novel ideas, such as reducing the operating temperature of SOFC by introducing new composite materials and nano materials [2].…”
