Abstract
Hydrogen fuel is an ideal energy carrier to resolve energy crisis and environmental pollution problems. How to produce hydrogen fuel cleanly and economically is of paramount importance toward hydrogen economy. Water electrolysis is a promising technology for large-scale hydrogen production from renewable sources. Compared with alkaline water electrolysis and proton exchange membrane water electrolysis, solid oxide steam electrolysis (SOSE) is advantageous to produce hydrogen efficiently and economically, due to higher electrical efficiency associated with high operating temperature. The fundamentals of SOSE, together with a comparison of SOSE with other high temperature hydrogen production technologies such as direct thermal water splitting, is presented. The above comparison and analysis show the promise of SOSE toward sustainable development.
