The tests were performed at different currents for 1,000 hours. The results showed that the resistance in the fuel electrode only degraded slightly at very high current draws. The experiments showed that the primary degradation mechanism of conventional ceramic electrolysis cells could be avoided as the nickel in the electrode did not move even under the high current draw. Current cell technology would not have been able to tolerate the same strain.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                        <!-- TechX - News - In-article --><\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                            However, the researchers found that there are still some challenges with the new electrolysis cells, where the new materials have caused another problem in the electrolyte. Despite this new complication, the researchers believe that the test results with the Ni-GDC electrolysis cells are very positive and show a scalable path to manufacturing highly efficient and long-lasting electrolysis cells.<\/p>\n<p>The production of hydrogen by electrolysis is a key part of the green transition, where the first step in any power-to-x (PtX) process is always the production of hydrogen by electrolysis. In the future, we will have large amounts of power available from wind turbines and solar cells, including from the two energy islands to be built in the North Sea and on Bornholm. Much of the green electricity from the islands will be used to produce fuels for <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lications that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy road transportation, aviation, shipping, and a number of industrial processes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Production_of_electrolysis_cells\"><\/span>Production of electrolysis cells<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Denmark, a lot of research and development of ceramic electrolysis cells has been carried out in a collaboration between the company Topsoe and researchers at DTU. In 2014, the parties entered into a non-exclusive license agreement that made it possible to manufacture and develop ceramic electrolysis cells (SOEC) in collaboration with DTU Energy. In 2023, this development led Topsoe to start construction of the world&#8217;s first large scale factory to produce high-temperature electrolysis cells assembled in large numbers in so-called stacks in Herning. When the factory is completed in 2025, it will be able to produce 500 MW of electrolysis units annually, and by 2030, production will be expanded to 5 GW annually.<\/p>\n<p>Frandsen estimates that it will take up to ten years before the Ni-GDC electrolysis cells are fully scaled up and utilized in power-to-X plants internationally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    Technical University of Denmark<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dtu.dk\/english\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg><use href=\"https:\/\/techx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v2\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                New electrolysis cells pave the way for cheaper hydrogen (2024, May 30)<br \/>\n                                                retrieved 30 May 2024<br \/>\n                                                from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2024-05-electrolysis-cells-pave-cheaper-hydrogen.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
