Thoroughly Eliminating Inefficiencies through Seamless Development from Materials to Systems — DENSO’s initiative to develop SOEC systems, which are indispensable for creating a hydrogen society

Supplying hydrogen cheaply using highly efficient, long-life systems Again, the system efficiency is plotted on the vertical axis. The service life, namely, the period until disposal of a system, is plotted on the horizontal axis. As I mentioned earlier, SOECs operate at high temperature, so they have problems in terms of durability. (If the durability… Continue reading Thoroughly Eliminating Inefficiencies through Seamless Development from Materials to Systems — DENSO’s initiative to develop SOEC systems, which are indispensable for creating a hydrogen society
