The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board supported a project at the University of Texas at Dallas aimed at enabling the hydrogen economy through the development of low-cost, durable, and high-efficiency solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzer cells. These cells are crucial for clean transportation and distributed power applications. The focus was on solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOECs), which are energy storage units that produce hydrogen through the electrolysis of water using electricity. The project spanned from 2022 to 2024 and aimed to contribute to the advancement of the hydrogen economy by creating scalable manufacturing processes for fuel cells. The final report of the project, known as Project R-123, summarizes the work done and can be accessed online for those interested in the specifics of the research. This endeavor marks a significant step towards making hydrogen a more accessible and efficient energy source for various applications.
