Abstract
Quantitative investigation is conducted on the resistance sources of the components in the NiO–YSZ/YSZ/GDC/LSCF–GDC solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stack at the H2O/H2 ratios of 70/30, 80/20 and 90/10 at 750 °C. The results indicate that the cell resistance accounts for 76.3–66.7% of that of the stack repeating unit (SRU), the contact resistance (CR) between the air electrode current-collecting layer (AECCL) and the interconnect accounts for 23.6–27.0%, the CR between the hydrogen electrode current-collecting layer (HECCL) and the interconnect only accounts for 2.3–3.2%, and the resistance of the interconnect can be neglected. Duration test of the stack is conducted at 0.8 A cm−2 for 380 h, the cell resistance increase is found to be the major contribution of the SRU degradation (82.2% of the SRU degradation) while the air electrode CR increase and the hydrogen electrode CR increase are other two important factors.
