THE HYDROGEN LAB
Solid-oxide research.
Controlled conditions.
At GeoLab, our solid-oxide test station supports research on stack performance, dynamic operation and durability.

FROM CELLS TO STACKS
Solid-oxide stacks.
Stacks connect ceramic electrochemical cells through interconnects. Gas channels and seals separate reactant streams; heat and mass transport shape their collective response.
Electrolysis converts steam into hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel-cell operation generates electricity, heat and steam. We study how load, temperature and gas supply affect performance and durability.
