abstract = {One major challenge that has to be solved to enable a
market entry of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs)
technology is the poor degradation behaviour caused by
nickel agglomeration and migration in the state-of-the-art
fuel electrodes. Novel fuel electrode materials that either
suppress the nickel migration or even nickel-free electrodes
could lead to a decrease in degradation rates. In this work,
single cells based on the mixed ionic electronic conducting
(MIEC) gadolinium doped ceria (GDC), acting as single-phase
fuel electrode, were prepared. The cell performance was
investigated by current density-voltage characteristics (jV)
for steam and co-electrolysis conditions at various
operating temperatures. Furthermore, electrochemical
processes occurring in the single cells were analysed using
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), distribution
of relaxation times (DRT) analysis and equivalent circuit
model (ECM) fitting. Current densities of –914 and –969
mA‧cm−2, respectively, at 1.5 V and 900 °C operating
temperature for steam and co-electrolysis were obtained,
which corresponds to about $70\%$ of the current density
achieved in similar produced Ni-GDC fuel electrode cells. In
addition, a long-term stability test was carried out during
steam electrolysis $(50\%$ H2O + $50\%$ H2) at 900 °C with
a constant current load of –0.5 A‧cm−2 for 1070 h. In
comparison to Ni-YSZ and Ni-GDC fuel electrode single cells
reported in the literature, a significantly lower
degradation rate of 112 mV‧kh−1 was observed. The
electrochemical investigations and post-test analyses using
SEM-EDX reveal that the GDC fuel electrode does not
contribute significantly to the degradation, while the LSCF
oxygen electrode is the major contributor to the cells’
degradation.},
