Design and commissioning of a high-temperature electrochemical cell for hard X-ray <i>in operando</i> studies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are a promising technology that can both utilize fuel efficiently in fuel cell mode (SOFC) and store energy as fuel in electrolysis mode (SOEC). Of particular interest is the ability to use clean and renewable energy to both electrolyze water to make hydrogen fuel, and convert CO 2 produced during combustion into valuable products such as syngas (H 2 + CO). As a potential cornerstone of a closed-loop sustainable energy system, we must advance our understanding of the electrocatalysts incorporated in SOCs to accelerate the energy transition. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a proven tool for the element-specific characterization of low-temperature electrochemical cells, since it provides local structural and chemical information about the catalyst. However, operando techniques are challenging to apply to SOC studies because their operating conditions, including high-temperature operation, are very demanding. Here, we present an experimental apparatus designed to perform XAS on working electrochemical cells under realistic operating conditions. This cell design is adaptable to any beamline and can be configured to probe both fuel and air electrodes in either the fuel cell or electrolysis cell mode. We present data from commissioning at the SXRMB beamline, demonstrating the ability to obtain XAS and electrochemical measurements from cells at high temperatures. This apparatus has the potential to reveal new insights about SOC reaction mechanisms, leading to more directed design of efficient catalysts.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
