Solid oxide electrochemical cells (SOCs) hold potential as a critical component in the future landscape of renewable energy storage and conversion systems. However, the commercialization of SOCs still requires further breakthroughs in new material development and engineering designs to achieve high performance and durability. In this study, a data-driven powder-to-power framework has been presented, fully digitizing the morphology evolution of heterogeneous electrodes from fabrication to long-term operation.

Here we report that the unique high-flux and high-selectivity of electrochemical silver-carbonate dual-phase membranes can be retained for an extended period of operation by overcoating the surfaces of porous silver matrix with a uniform layer of Al2O3 thin-film derived from chemical vapor deposition.

The reaction characteristics and mechanism of sodium removal by the synergistic action of CO2 and RM were studied with different medium pH, reaction time and temperature. It was demonstrated that the remove of sodium by RM was actually the result of the synergistic action of sodium-based solid waste in RM with the CO2-H2O and OH(-)-CO2 systems.

The microstructure, mechanical and formaldehyde adsorption properties of the geopolymer products obtained were investigated. The results showed that α-Al(2)O(3) addition with appropriate amount (such as 5 wt%) increased the geopolymerization extent, resulting in the increase of surface area and compressive strength.
