Abstract:

High temperature solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a new type of high-efficiency electrochemical energy transfer device with high energy transfer efficiency, high reaction rate and wide application scenarios. It has enormous potential in the fields including production of low-cost green hydrogen and carbonaceous product with high added values. Nitrogen oxide treatment and ammonia synthesis may also be a promising direction of application. SOEC is expected to play an important role in the low-carbon transformation of energy, chemical industry, transportation and other fields. Based on the latest progress of SOEC in the fields of hydrogen production, oil production, nitride treatment and ammonia production, the development status of SOEC was systematically summarized, and the key directions for future development were prospected.

Key words: hydrogen energy, hydrogen production, solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC), electrochemistry, synthetic ammonia
