  1. Seksjon for Faststoff-elektrokjemi (FASE) Sectionfor Solid-stateelectrochemistry Truls Norby & Reidar Haugsrud FASE Research group at Department of Chemistry FERMiO Functional Energy Related Materials in Oslo Top-tier group at SMN/MN faculty SMN Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology Centre at the MN faculty

  2. Section for Solid-State Electrochemistry (FASE) • Our research in solid-state electrochemistry has elements of • Inorganic chemistry • Physical chemistry • Materials chemistry • Nanotechnology • Computational materials science • Typical applications of our research comprise • Clean and efficient energy conversion technologies • Renewable energy harvesting and storage • Hydrogen technologies • Carbon capture and better uses of fossil fuels • Catalysis and photocatalysis • Materials synthesis, fabrication, use, and degradation/corrosion

  3. FASE • Professor Truls Norby • Assoc. professor Reidar Haugsrud • 1 technical • 1 administrator • 6 post-docs • 12PhD-students • 6 Master-students • Visiting researchers • Exchange, project, and internship students • Total ca 30 • Located in Oslo Innovation Centre (Forskningsparken)

  4. FASE TechnologiesFunctional energy related materials • CO2-free fossil energy • Gas separation membranes • Fuel cells • Hydrogen technology • Fuel cells • Steam electrolysis • Photo-electrochemical splitting of water • High temperature corrosion • Sensors for extreme conditions • High temperature, corrosive environments, Space, Nuclear power, Energy processes • Clean water and air – photocatalysis • Thermoelectric materials • Solar and waste heat utilisation

  5. Questions: • H+ in oxides? H in oxides? H- in oxides? • N3- in oxides? • Cation diffusion in oxides? Lifetime of devices? • Novel solid-state proton conductors? • Charge transfer mechanisms in electrodes? • Why do grain boundaries behave so differently? • How does a photocatalyst work? FASE Science • Defects in crystals • Defect chemistry • Transport • Emphasis on oxides and hydrogen • Solid state reactions • Electrode reactions • Relation between structure, composition, and functional properties • Design, make, characterize, and model new materials

  6. FASE Methods • Synthesis • Sample preparation • Structure: XRD • Microstructure: SEM • Measurements of concentration and transport of defects • Thermogravimetry • Reaction rates • Diffusion • Permeability • Electrical properties • Electrochemical studies • Fuel cell tests • Electrode kinetics • Photoelectrochemistry • Further characterization, often in collaboration: • TEM, XPS, SIMS, ND… • Computational simulations of structure and defects

  7. Examples of current FASE project possibilities • Pulsed Laser Deposited (PLD) films for fuel cells, electrolysers, and gas separation membranes • Proton conducting oxides for fuel cells and electrolysers; measurements and computational approaches • Electrodes for H+-conducting fuel cells and electroysers • New proton-electron mixed conductors for gas separation membranes • Water splitting or CO2-to-fuel generation by solid-state photoelectrochemistry • Pure water by photocatalysis – is it possible? • Thermoelectric oxides – from heat to electricity • Grain boundaries and interfaces; TEM and properties • Diffusion and surface kinetics – use of isotopes and ToF-SIMS • Nitrogen defects in oxides • Combined computational and experimental studies • and more; depends on what is hot when you start, and your interests…
