Addressing silicon in high-temperature SOEC systems: experimental and thermodynamic insights for enhanced durability
Daniel Bruun, Peter Blennow, Elena Marzia Sala, Jakob Munkholt Christensen, Anna Katerinopoulou, Ramchandra R. Tiruvalam, Caroline Piper, John Bøgild Hansen, Anker Degn JensenSr-MAO2 captures silicon under SOEC-relevant conditions through the formation of Sr–Al–Si phases. The measured Si uptake of 1.66 wt% indicates the potential of Sr-based guards to reduce silicon contamination before it reaches the electrolysis stack.
