Tuning CEria-based COMpounds as effective catalyst for Electrochemical Cells

The aim of this project is to investigate the influence of double doping on the electrochemical activity of ceria-based compounds that can act as catalysts for fuel electrodes in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC)/Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC). The studies will be based on structural characterization techniques at the microscopic scale (XAS) and chemical characterizations coupled to 'operando' data collection.
