abstract = {Solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOEC) operated for 6100 h
and 9000 h with a current density of −0.75 and −1 A/cm2,
respectively, were analyzed and compared with a non-operated
cell. The cathode-supported cells consisted of an 8 μm
thick Ni/8YSZ cermet as hydrogen cathode, a 10 μm thick
8YSZ electrolyte, a screen-printed Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 diffusion
barrier with a thickness of 5 μm and a 30 μm thick
La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 layer as oxygen anode.The cells were
investigated by various electron microscopy as well as
microanalytical techniques. The post-test analyses showed
several degradation phenomena such as formation of
nano-sized pores at grain boundaries, formation of SrZrO3 at
the interface electrolyte/anode and agglomeration of nickel
particles in the cathode. Comparisons of the operated cells
with the non-operated cell indicate that nickel depletion in
the cathode is responsible for a loss of performance since
this depletion leads to a significant enlargement of
electrolyte thickness. Analysis of these cells leads to the
conclusion that two mass transport processes in the
electrolyte caused by different driving forces are the main
reason of the cell performance loss: at the cathode side,
the electrical potential gradient appears to govern the
formation of pores, while at the anode side, formation of
SrZrO3 generates a chemical potential gradient causing the
cations to migrate against the direction of the electric
field.},
