Green hydrogen production via alkaline water electrolysis (A-WE) is a crucial technology for sustainable energy transition. The efficiency and durability of electrolyzers strongly depend on the transport properties within ...

This thesis investigates the synthesis of copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and copper–silver (Cu-Ag) powders via ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) and hydrogen reduction, focusing on how gas atmosphere, reduction temperature, and ...

Decarbonizing industry at scale requires robust high-temperature electrolysers whose fuel electrodes avoid the long-term degradation modes of nickel-based cermets. This thesis evaluates symmetrical praseodymium-doped ceria ...

Hydrogen Embrittlement is a vital materials degradation phenomenon in stainless steels, leading to materials premature failure and decreased ductility in hydrogen-rich conditions. Duplex stainless steels (DSSs), with their ...

The expanding hydrogen economy relies on efficient and durable electrochemical devices, such as Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs) and Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers (PEMWEs). The performance and lifetime ...
