Abstract: Energy transition targets amplify the need for economically viable hydrogen related technologies. Proton conducting ceramic cells (PCCs) are a novel and challenging technology that offers application windows at moderately increased temperature and further multitude of advantages compared to the conventional oxygen-ion conducting SOCs. Despite this, the technological readiness level of PCCs trails behind that of SOCs due to several reasons related to the challenging nature of BaZr1-x(Ce,Y)xO3-d (x=0.3-0.5, BZCY) based proton conducting ceramics, high temperature processing and relatively limited scalability. The present work focuses on the approaches related to optimization of the cell materials and components development to the final operational PCC. Following the technological chain from ceramic powder synthesis to a full cell integration by means of industry relevant processing techniques, the presentation will outline the decisive technological steps in the PCC fabrication in the light of cell components microstructure, phase composition and their thermo-chemical stability. Key words: Proton conducting ceramics, BZCY, Proton Conducting Ceramic Cells (PCCs), cell fabricationAcknowledgements: The Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres (HGF) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Germany are acknowledged for supporting the development of PCC within the frame of the HGF research program “Materials and Technologies for the Energy Transition” (MTET). Indo-German Centre for Sustainability (IGCS) is acknowledged for providing funding to Mr. Dwivedi for his scientific visit to FZJ GmbH.
