Developing novel electrodes for robust Solid Oxide Cells
06-03-2020 | New Project
VoltaChem researchers at TNO have recently started the development of novel oxygen electrodes for a new generation of robust Solid Oxide Cells at the Faraday Lab in Petten, one of the hydrogen research facilities that VoltaChem has in use. This research is part of the three year, 5 million euro 'NewSOC' project that started in January 2020, funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking.
Seizing opportunities in the international value chain of electrolyzer production
28-02-2020 | New Project
Green hydrogen is an indispensable ingredient in the energy transition and in making the chemical industry sustainable and carbon-neutral. Producing green hydrogen on such a large scale requires the availability of electrolyzers in large numbers. This offers the manufacturing industry great opportunities. In a partnership with FME (the Dutch employers’ organization in the technology industry) an
Modeling aging and degradation of stacks for a gigawatt electrolyzer
26-02-2020 | New Project
As part of the third phase of the Dutch national GigaWatt Electrolyzer project, VoltaChem founding partner TNO will develop a model for aging and degradation of PEM and alkaline electrolyzer stacks. This will provide the foundation for a stack replacement strategy in a future hydrogen factory of gigawatt scale.
Next steps in Solid Oxide Electrolysis
01-11-2019 | New Project
VoltaChem researchers are developing the next generation of Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) cells at TNO’s Faraday lab in Petten. SOE technology offers great opportunities for large scale hydrogen production, renewable energy storage and, in particular, for electrification of the chemical industry. A unique feature is the co-electrolysis of steam and carbon dioxide, resulting in the generation of
The materials issue of hydrogen production
31-10-2019 | P2Hydrogen
Producing adequate amounts of hydrogen is crucial to establishing a fully sustainable energy supply and producing sustainable chemical products. But the scale of the energy system can pose important problems. One important issue is the availability of raw materials for large-scale production of hydrogen through electrolysis. In a current Voltachem study, the scale of this problem is being quantifi
New facilities for hydrogen research: The Faraday Lab
10-10-2019 | New Project
Developed with 6-million-euro funding from the Dutch national scheme for Electrochemical Conversion & Materials, the new Faraday Lab in Petten is a significant extension of the facilities of TNO. It is dedicated to working on innovative solutions together with industrial partners, in the development and testing of materials and components for all relevant electrolyzer technologies: PEM, SOE, AEM a
