An experimental study has been conducted at Idaho National Laboratory to demonstrate recent improvements in long-term durability of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) and stacks. Results of five stack tests are presented. Electrolyte-supported SOEC stacks were provided by Ceramatec Inc. and electrode-supported SOEC stacks were provided by Materials and Systems Research Inc. (MSRI), for these tests. Long-term durability tests were generally operated for durations of 1000 h or more. Stack tests based on technologies developed at Ceramatec and MSRI have shown significant improvement in durability in the electrolysis mode. Long-term degradation rates of 3.2%/khr and 4.6%/khr were observed for MSRI and Ceramatec stacks, respectively. One recent Ceramatec stack even showed negative degradation (performance improvement) over 1900 h of operation. Optimization of electrode and electrolyte materials, interconnect coatings, and electrolyte–electrode interface microstructures contribute to improve the durability of SOEC stacks.
