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.
