Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are a next generation low carbon energy technology and one of the world's leading SOFC companies are the UK based Ceres Power Ltd. The aim of this project is to develop a novel experimental analysis technique to better understand what happens at the interfaces between oxide conducting ceramics. This is crucial to the development of a host of exciting technologies and is of particular interest to Ceres to improve their ability to predict cell lifetime.The fundamental concept is to expose multi-layered samples to isotopically enriched oxygen gas and then use an ion imaging technique to observe how the isotopes moved through the sample. By fitting the results with a simple simulation, it should be possible to measure blocking effects caused by the interface between the layers for the first time! Ceres will be able to provide samples with a variety of operational histories, enabling us to build a picture of the relationship between usage and degradation. The student will also develop a working relationship with Ceres, including potential labplacements and research presentations

固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）是下一代低碳能源技术，总部位于英国的Ceres Power有限公司是世界领先的SOFC公司之一。该项目的目的是开发一种新的实验分析技术，以更好地了解氧化物导电陶瓷之间的界面发生了什么。这对一系列激动人心的技术的发展至关重要，而且对谷神星来说，提高他们预测细胞寿命的能力尤其感兴趣。基本概念是将多层样品暴露于同位素富集的氧气中，然后使用离子成像技术观察同位素如何在样品中移动。通过简单的模拟拟合结果，应该可以第一次测量由层之间的界面引起的阻挡效应！谷神星将能够提供各种运行历史的样本，使我们能够建立使用和退化之间关系的图景。学生还将与Ceres建立工作关系，包括潜在的实验室实习和研究报告
