Description

As the agency reported it.

The project will span from the lab demonstration of small samples to commercial size (=100 CM2). The final deliverable of the project will result in a hardware set (two hybrid microwave-assisted kilns) capable of demonstrating low-risk scalability to high-volume manufacturing (HVM). The first kiln will assist in the rapid calcination of electrode and electrolyte powders used to fabricate soecs. The second kiln will permit the accelerated and low-power sintering of all layers of an SOEC to produce fully functional soecs.
