To mitigate the polluting emissions from the energy sector, a shift towards renewable energy sources is imperative. However, the fluctuating nature of renewable energy production necessitates efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions for grid management. Reversible Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) offer a promising solution, serving as energy conversion devices with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. During operation, typically in the range of 650°C to 850°C, ferritic stainless-steel materials (FSS) commonly used as interconnects release volatile chromium species when the protective chromia scale layer is exposed to oxygen or water, which can migrate toward the cathode, leading to its poisoning. This work focuses on developing and characterizing advanced coating techniques to enhance the performance and longevity of interconnect materials in SOCs.
