Protonic Ceramic Electrochemical Cells for Synthesizing Sustainable Chemicals and Fuels

Abstract Protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (PCECs) have been intensively studied as the technology that can be employed for power generation, energy storage, and sustainable chemical synthesis. Recently, there have been substantial advances in electrolyte and electrode materials for improving the performance of protonic ceramic fuel cells and protonic ceramic electrolyzers. However, the electrocatalytic materials development for synthesizing chemicals in PCECs has gained less attention, and there is a lack of systematic and fundamental understanding of the PCEC reactor design, reaction mechanisms, and electrode materials. This review comprehensively summarizes and critically evaluates the most up‐to‐date progress in employing PCECs to synthesize a wide range of chemicals, including ammonia, carbon monoxide, methane, light olefins, and aromatics. Factors that impact the conversion, selectivity, product yield, and energy efficiencies are discussed to provide new insights into designing electrochemical cells, developing electrode materials, and achieving economically viable chemical synthesis. The primary challenges associated with producing chemicals in PCECs are highlighted. Approaches to tackle these challenges are then offered, with a particular focus on deliberately designing electrode materials, aiming to achieve practically valuable product yield and energy efficiency. Finally, perspectives on the future development of PCECs for synthesizing sustainable chemicals are provided.

Locking oxygen in lattice: A quantifiable comparison of gas generation in polycrystalline and single crystal Ni-rich cathodes

High-energy Ni-rich NMC (LiNi x Mn y Co 1-x-y O 2 , x ≥ 0.6) is a very promising cathode material in Li-ion batteries but the gas generation during cycling is a significant safety concern and becomes the major roadblock of the large-scale commercialization of Ni-rich NMC cathode materials. Micron-sized single crystal Ni-rich NMC has a potential to address the common issues that polycrystals have. However, it is unknown if gassing issue will be mitigated or even eliminated by using single crystals, not mentioning a quantifiable understanding of gas generation from single crystals and polycrystals. This work takes LiNi 0.76 Mn 0.14 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC76) as a model material to study the mechanism of gas generation from single crystal and polycrystalline NMC by using both coin cells and pouch cells, which provides different conclusions on the generated gases, highlighting the importance of using relevant testing conditions for fundamental diagnostic study on battery materials. Further, the information from single crystal NMC also provides critical insights from material perspective to enhance the safety attributes of Ni-rich NMC cathodes.

CO 2 and Renewable Electricity into Chemicals: Formic Acid Production from Coal Flue Gas

Formic acid (FA) is an industrial chemical. It is used as a preservative for silage, as a digestive aid for animals, as a fluid for fracking, as a pharmaceutical intermediate and in leather tanning. The global formic acid market is valued at 777.4 million USD in 2020 and is expected to reach 851.8 million USD by the end of 2026. A new major formic acid application is the use of formic acid as a key feedstock for the bioprocessing industry. It has the potential to grow tremendously if we can lower the cost of formic acid production compared with the current fossil-fuel one. Recently, Dioxide Materials has developed a technology that can directly convert CO 2 to pure formic acid with a three-compartment CO 2 electrolyzer. However, the electrolyzer performance needs further improvement for the technology to be commercially viable. The major objective of this project is to develop the electrolyzer technology to enable formic acid as a feedstock for the bioprocessing industry to be economically manufactured from flue gas from a coal fired pilot plant. In particular, the project is to understand how to run the electrolyzer for the conversion of CO 2 into formic acid using flue gas from a coal fired power plant as a source of CO 2 . The work will include characterizing how the performance of the electrolyzer changes with low CO 2 concentration and impurities, developing new cell designs that can still operate with feedstocks with low CO 2 concentrations, testing simulated flue gas in the electrolyzer system and developing filters to remove any impurities that arise.

Elucidating the Role of Hydroxide Electrolyte on Anion-Exchange-Membrane Water Electrolyzer Performance

Many solid-state devices, especially those requiring anion conduction, often add a supporting electrolyte to enable efficient operation. The prototypical case is that of anion-exchange-membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs), where addition of an alkali metal solution improves performance. However, the specific mechanism of this performance improvement is currently unknown. This work investigates the functionality of the alkali metal solution in AEMWEs using experiments and mathematical models. The results show that additional hydroxide plays a key role not only in ohmic resistance of the membrane and catalyst layer but also in the reaction kinetics. The modeling suggests that the added liquid electrolyte creates an additional electrochemical interface with the electrocatalyst that provides ion-transport pathways and distributes product gas bubbles; the total effective electrochemical active surface area in the cell with 1 M KOH is 5 times higher than that of the cell with DI water. In the cell with 1 M KOH, more than 80% of the reaction current is associate with the liquid electrolyte. These results indicate the importance of high pH of electrolyte and catalyst/electrolyte interface in AEMWEs. The understanding of the functionality of the alkali metal solution presented in this study should help guide the design and optimization of AEMWEs.

Atomic Layer Deposition for Materials-Based H2 Storage: Opportunities and Limitations

The transportation demands in our growing hydrogen (H2) economy requires robust storage systems. The current commercially implemented technology in fuel cell cars relies on the well-established technology of hydrogen gas compressed to 350-700 bar, depending on the application. The compressed gas tanks in use today are bulky and cost intensive. To address this challenge, material-based storage is one of the long-term alternatives considered and constitutes the focus of this talk. Material-based storage is broadly defined as hydrogen bound to solid materials, with its binding strength varying from physisorption to porous materials, such as zeolites and metal organic frameworks, to chemisorption in (complex) metal hydrides. The ultimate targets set by the U.S. Department of Energy for this technology include a system gravimetric capacity of 6.5 wt% and volumetric capacity of 40 g/L at 100 bar, operating temperatures ranging between -40 C and +40 C and adsorption/desorption timescales of < 5 min. Storage in the form of physisorbed or chemisorbed hydrogen has guided the materials research, which metal- organic framework and (complex) metal hydrides being the most promising materials classes. A variety of these materials have met one or more of the targets, but it has remained elusive for a single material system to meet all these stringent requirements. Nano-encapsulation and low-concentration chemical additives have previously been employed separately to overcome such challenges. Functionalization via atomic layer deposition (ALD), however, offers unique characteristics that make it suitable for both, nano-encapsulation and "doping" with low-concentration additives. This deposition technique has sub-monolayer thickness control, is highly conformal in high-surface area materials and is self-limiting, i.e., once the gas-phase precursor reacts with the available surface sites, the surface reactions stop. In this presentation, we will showcase examples where ALD, more generally vapor-phase functionalization, on (complex) metal hydrides and organic frameworks has improved the material properties for H2 storage. In our first study, Al2O3 was deposited on magnesium borohydride, Mg(BH4)2, at room temperature using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and water. From our findings, encouraging initial results were obtained: the H2 desorption temperature was lowered by 60-120 degrees C, the desorbed gravimetric H2 capacity at temperatures < 250 degrees C was doubled, and the desorption kinetics increased by a factor of ~6 compared to uncoated Mg(BH4)2. However, hydrolysis reactions caused by residual surface -OH groups from the ALD water-pulse degraded the sample substantially. Through this study, the use of TMA was observed to be highly reactive with the Mg(BH4)2 surface species, leading to the strategy of exposing the sample only to TMA. The relative mole fraction of the vapor-phase additive can be precisely controlled with the number of TMA pulses and pulse duration. By tuning these parameters, we show in our second study that 10 pulses of TMA at ambient conditions were able to decrease the H2 desorption temperature by ~100 degrees C while retaining <95 % of its H2 capacity. We applied this approach with other additives such as BBr3, TiCl4 and tetrahydrofuran, and demonstrate that this unique approach opens the door to a new class of molecular additives and catalysts which cannot easily be introduced with conventional mechano-chemical or solvent-based techniques for (complex) metal-hydrides. In the case of metal organic frameworks, ALD is a promising technique to functionalize the pores with metal atoms or functional groups able to tune the gas selectivity and binding energy, for which ~15 kJ/mol has been established as the optimal value for H2 storage in sorbent materials. Vapor-phase techniques such as ALD have numerous benefits over other functionalization tools for H2 storage materials opening innumerable opportunities to the field. To exploit these opportunities, the current limitations on room temperature and water-less ALD processes needs to be overcome which will greatly expand the possibilities of encapsulation and incorporation of additives for organic frameworks and (complex) metal hydrides.

Microporous water with high gas solubilities

Liquids with permanent microporosity can absorb larger quantities of gas molecules than conventional solvents , providing new opportunities for liquid-phase gas storage, transport, and reactivity. Current approaches to designing porous liquids rely on sterically bulky solvent molecules or surface ligands and thus are not amenable to many important solvents, including water. Here, we report a generalizable thermodynamic strategy to preserve permanent microporosity and impart high gas solubilities to liquid water. Specifically, we show how the external and internal surface chemistry of microporous zeolite and metal–organic framework nanocrystals can be tailored to promote the formation of stable dispersions in water while maintaining dry networks of micropores that are accessible to gas molecules. As a result of their permanent microporosity, these aqueous fluids can concentrate gases, including oxygen (O 2 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), to much higher densities than are found in typical aqueous environments. Furthermore, when these fluids are oxygenated, record-high capacities of O 2 can be delivered to hypoxic red blood cells, highlighting one potential application of this new class of microporous liquids for physiological gas transport.

Powertrain Performance and Total Cost of Ownership Analysis for Class 8 Yard Tractors and Refuse Trucks

Advanced powertrain technologies, specifically fuel cell electric powertrains, have gained attention as viable alternatives for medium- and heavy-duty (M/HD) vehicles. However, it is unclear how these alternative powertrain vehicles stack up against their diesel counterparts in terms of performance and total cost of ownership (TCO). Furthermore, there are vehicle segments within the M/HD sector that have remained unstudied for fuel cell electric applications. This analysis aims to provide a comparative scoping-level TCO and performance analysis for two heavy-duty vocation vehicles (Class 8 U.S. port-side yard tractor and Class 8 U.S.-based refuse truck) for both conventional diesel and heavy-duty fuel cell electric (HDFC) powertrains. The refuse truck analysis also considered compressed natural gas powertrains (CNG) for comparison. The analysis includes seven timeframes (2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, and 2050) for comparison. This simplified TCO analysis includes only direct costs (fuel price, glider purchase price, and operating & maintenance costs) and excludes any associated indirect cost (e.g., dwell time costs and other opportunity based costs). Representative drive cycles for each vehicle were based on on-board GPS logged data and chosen by the analysis team to represent average, non-extreme driving conditions. At the time the analysis was performed, the Inflation Reduction Act was not in effect and therefore any potential subsidies and future cost reductions enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act were not included. Based on the operational setpoints used in this analysis, HDFC powertrains for both yard tractors and refuse trucks have the potential to achieve TCO advantages over conventional diesel powertrains (and CNG for refuse truck applications) in the near- to mid-term future while meeting the necessary duty cycle performance requirements. Yard tractors and refuse trucks spend a significant amount of time operating at low speeds, with long durations of idling, and experience numerous start/stop occurrences. These operational characteristics favor fuel cell performance as fuel cells operate with higher efficiencies at lower percentages of total power output. Conversely, conventional diesel and CNG engines are most efficient at higher percentages of total power output. This helps HDFC powered yard tractors and refuse trucks realize improved fuel economy when compared to their diesel counterparts, which helps reduce total fuel costs and therefore, total TCO. The analysis demonstrates that fuel prices play a significant role in determining TCO for each vehicle and should remain an R&D focus area. Overall, under the analysis' specified conditions, HDFC yard tractors have the potential to achieve cost parity with diesel yard tractors as early as 2025. For refuse trucks, HDFC refuse trucks have the potential to achieve cost parity with diesel and CNG refuse trucks in 2030 and 2040, respectively.

Design Considerations to Ensure Robustness of the ITER Diagnostics Residual Gas Analyzer

Increasing robustness of the ITER diagnostic residual gas analyzer (DRGA) is critical for the potential control of plasma heating and fuel-cycle processing. Robustness is a requirement for a diagnostic to have a control function. The DRGA is a multisensor diagnostic system capable of resolving isotopic compositions of hydrogen and helium as well as other heavier elements and compounds. The divertor-specific DRGA system is intended to measure the composition of gases in the ITER subdivertor region and midplane. Its analysis station will be located in a port cell at the divertor level. From there, it will sample a slip stream of gas from the cryogenic pump duct. It will then exhaust into a shared roughing line where helium or other light gas impurities, some potentially from other diagnostic systems, are likely to be present. In order to provide reliable measurements, the DRGA must be robust in areas such as plasma optical emission source geometry for a compact design, mitigation of back-streaming from light gases and resilience to the ITER port cell environment, and radiation hardening of the DRGA electronics. By incorporating robustness into the design, areas of plasma heating and fuel-cycle control may be explored with the DRGA for ITER and next-generation fusion devices.

Transition characteristics and electron kinetics in microhollow cathode discharges

We demonstrate the transition characteristics and electron kinetics of microdischarges in a microgap with a cathode having microstructures using two-dimensional particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision (2d3v) simulations. It is found that the microdischarge is inside the hollow cavity at lower pressures, forming microhollow cathode discharges (MHCDs), while the dominant discharge moves outside the cavity at higher pressures, locating above the cathode rectangular protrusion tip. The spatial distributions of the microdischarge parameters (e.g., electric potential and electron density) are presented by capturing the transition characteristics. The electron kinetics of the microdischarges are examined based on the moment analysis of the electron Boltzmann equation. The collisional and non-collisional components of the electron power absorption are decomposed, which were seldomly investigated for microdischarges previously. The results provide fundamental insights into MHCD formation with a structured electrode at varying pressure conditions, which could be beneficial for the design and fabrication of microplasma devices in practical applications.

A Novel Laser 3D Printing Method for the Advanced Manufacturing of Protonic Ceramics

Protonic ceramics (PCs) with high proton conductivity at intermediate temperatures (300–600 °C) have attracted many applications in energy conversion and storage devices such as PC fuel/electrolysis cells, PC membrane reactors, hydrogen pump, hydrogen or water-permeable membranes, and gas sensors. One of the essential steps for fulfilling the practical utilization of these intermediate-temperature PC energy devices is the successful development of advanced manufacturing methods for cost-effectively and rapidly fabricating them with high energy density and efficiency in a customized demand. In this work, we developed a new laser 3D printing (L3DP) technique by integrating digital microextrusion-based 3D printing and precise and rapid laser processing (sintering, drying, cutting, and polishing), which showed the capability of manufacturing PCs with desired complex geometries, crystal structures, and microstructures. The L3DP method allowed the fabrication of PC parts such as pellets, cylinders, cones, films, straight/lobed tubes with sealed endings, microchannel membranes, and half cells for assembling PC energy devices. The preliminary measurement of the L3DP electrolyte film showed a high proton conductivity of ≈7 × 10−3 S/cm. This L3DP technique not only demonstrated the potential to bring the PCs into practical use but also made it possible for the rapid direct digital manufacturing of ceramic-based devices.
