SYMPOSIUM 35 – Protonic Ceramic Cells for Sustainable Energy

Protonic ceramic cells (PCCs) allow for versatile electrochemical reactions to occur efficiently, selectively, cost-effectively, and environment-benignly at intermediate temperatures, which have been extensively used for energy devices such as fuel cells for electricity generation, electrolysis cells for hydrogen production, electrochemical cells for carbon dioxide to fuels and fuel upgrading, solid-state chemical manufacturing (e.g., electrochemical ammonia production, catalytic membrane reactors for natural gas conversion), hydrogen separation/purification, and isotope separator for nuclear reactors. The PCC symposium is trying to provide an annual get-together platform for global leading PCC experts and to engage in the design, discovery, characterization, understanding, and application of protonic ceramic cell materials, the fabrication/processing, characterization/understanding, testing/demonstration of solid oxide cell devices, and design/modeling of the solid oxide cell systems. Simultaneously, it will provide chances for young participants or beginners in this field to learn more about PCC. Researchers from academic institutions, national laboratories, and industries are invited to participate in this symposium. The ACerS Energy Materials & Systems Division sponsors this symposium.
