Fundamental Insights on the Electrochemical Water Splitting Using Solid Oxide Electrolyzers

We have employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations along with electrochemical (linear sweep voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy), spectroscopy and microscopy techniques to determine the chemical/electrochemical steps that govern water splitting reaction at the solid oxide electrolyzer (SOE) cathodes. These insights will be employed to design robust electrode materials for SOEs.
