Abstract
Nowadays, the danger represented by the utilization of greenhouse gases shifted the global energy scenario towards renewable energies such as solar, wind, tide, etc. Despite the global need for a green transition many efforts are necessary, mostly due to the intrinsic intermittent nature of renewable sources. Among different energy carriers, hydrogen is particularly promising as vector. Its application proposes a sustainable energy conversion pathway as well as a potential storage solution for renewable energy sources. Hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis (i.e., green hydrogen) with low-carbon emissions. The most efficient electrolysis cells to produce green hydrogen are high temperature electrolysis cells (HTEs).
Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) and protonic ceramic electrolysis cells (PCECs) operate at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 °C and 400 to 700 °C, respectively
