Synthesis And Characterization Of Electrode Materials Of Solid Oxide Cells For Energy Conversion And Storage, Haixia Li
Theses and Dissertations
Solid oxide cells (SOCs) can directly convert chemical energy to electricity in the fuel cell mode and store electricity to chemicals in the electrolysis mode. However, there are still critical barriers, such as energy efficiency and durability, for developing and commercializing SOCs. This dissertation aims to design electrode materials and optimize the cell fabrication process to address the critical barriers for SOCs in energy conversion and energy storage applications. Therefore, one primary focus of the dissertation is to develop robust fuel electrode material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with improved sulfur tolerance. In addition, the design of novel fuel …
Material Development And Optimization Of Solid Oxide Cells For Energy Conversion And Storage, Wanhua Wang
Material Development And Optimization Of Solid Oxide Cells For Energy Conversion And Storage, Wanhua Wang
Theses and Dissertations
There has been an increasing interest in clean and renewable energy generation for highlighted energy and environmental concerns. Solid oxide cell (SOC) has been considered as one of the most promising technologies since it can convert chemical energy to electricity in the fuel cell mode and store electricity to chemicals in the electrolysis mode. The present work is devoted to materials development in both oxygen ion conducting SOC (O-SOC) and proton conducting SOC (P-SOC). The objective of this study is to design and optimize the electrolyte and electrode materials for SOC in energy conversion and energy storage applications. One major …
Development Of Advanced Mixed Electronic And Carbonate Ion Conducting Membranes And Reactors For Combined Co2 Capture And Conversion, Jie Fang
Theses and Dissertations
Global warming and climate change resulted from CO2 emissions have been increasingly observed to impact our daily life and damage our economy in recent human history. To deal with this grand challenge, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been established as a key technology to curb CO2 emission from fossil-fueled power plants. The core of the CCS technology is to capture CO2 at emission sources and geologically bury it for permanent storage or enhanced oil recovery (OER). As the first step of CCS, carbon capture technologies are currently being developed for three power-generation related combustion processes that are responsible for …
