SOEC & SOFC

Solid-oxide and protonic-ceramic stacks live or die at the ceramic interfaces — pick the electrolyte first, then the matched fuel- and air-side electrodes, then the cell architecture that fits your test rig. This section gathers the materials and hardware we stock for SOFC, SOEC, PCFC, and PCEC research, organized so you can move from powder selection through to a button cell or planar cell ready for sealing and current collection.

Browse by the layer you are designing or buying:

• Electrolytes for SOEC & SOFC — proton-conducting perovskites (BZCY / BZCYYb) for sub-700 C operation, plus the fluorite-structured oxide-ion conductors (YSZ, ScSZ, GDC, SDC) and the LSGM perovskite oxide-ion family for intermediate- and high-temperature stacks.
• Anodes & Cathodes for SOEC & SOFC — Ni-cermet fuel-side materials (NiO/8YSZ supports, NiO slurries, YSZ) and strontium-doped cobaltite air-side perovskites such as LSC, with adjacent PEM, AEM, and alkaline catalysts (IrOx, RuOx, Pt/C, Ni/C, Ru/C, CoFeOx) for the broader electrolyzer bench.
• Electrodes & Cells — electrolyte-supported (LSM / LSM-GDC on SSZ; Ni-GDC / Ni-YSZ) and anode-supported half-cells and full cells with thin YSZ and a GDC buffer, offered as 20 mm and 25 mm button cells and 5 cm x 5 cm planar cells.
• Testing Cells — benchtop fixtures for membrane-transport studies (FCDI, integrated reactive CO2 capture, porous solid-electrolyte reactors, optically accessible flow electrolyzers) for groups whose solid-oxide work touches ion-separation diagnostics.

If you are starting a new SOFC or SOEC build, lock in the electrolyte chemistry first, then choose matched electrodes; if you already have a chemistry and need cells to test, jump to Electrodes & Cells. For adjacent low-temperature platforms, see electrolyzers and fuel cells.
