SYMPOSIUM 36: Solid Oxide Cells for Sustainable Energy

Solid oxide cells (e.g., oxygen ion conducting/proton conducting cells) allow for versatile electrochemical reactions to occur efficiently, selectively, cost-effectively, and environment-benignly, 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 electrochemical ammonia production, catalytic membrane reactors for natural gas conversion and hydrogen purification, separation/purification, and electrochemical/electrocatalytic sensors. The focus of this symposium is to convene leading global experts to engage in the design, discovery, characterization, understanding, and application of solid oxide cell materials, the fabrication/processing, characterization/understanding, testing/demonstration of solid oxide cell devices, and design/modeling of the solid oxide cell systems.
