Researchers improve efficiency, durability of nickel-based SOECs for electrochemical CO₂ conversion

A Korean research team has resolved a major durability issue in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high-value chemical feedstocks. Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), led by Drs. Min-Chul Kim, Ji Hoon Park, and Jin Hee Lee, developed a new electrolyte interface engineering technology for nickel-based SOECs.
