High-Temperature Electrolysis

High-Temperature Electrolysis by Werner Sitte and Rotraut Merkle is an authoritative, practical guide for professionals and researchers working at the intersection of electrochemistry, materials science, and renewable energy. Anchored in the urgent global drive toward low-carbon hydrogen, this book illuminates the principles and practice of high-temperature electrolysis—an efficient route to green hydrogen production using heat and electricity.

Clear, concise chapters translate complex topics—solid oxide electrolysis cell design, electrode and electrolyte materials, thermodynamics, kinetics, and system integration—into actionable knowledge. Case studies and modeling approaches highlight how to optimize performance, enhance long-term stability, and reduce costs for industrial-scale hydrogen generation. Readers gain insight into diagnostics, failure modes, and strategies for improving durability in demanding high-temperature environments.

Designed for engineers, academic researchers, and energy policy advisors across Europe and beyond, this volume situates high-temperature electrolysis within real-world decarbonization pathways and renewable energy systems. Its focus on practical solutions—material selection, cell architecture, and system optimization—makes it essential for anyone developing solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) or integrating hydrogen into power-to-gas and industrial processes.

Whether you’re advancing laboratory research, scaling pilot projects, or shaping clean-energy policy, High-Temperature Electrolysis offers a compelling blend of theory and application. Equip yourself with a definitive resource that speaks to the technical challenges and opportunities of hydrogen production today. Add this key reference to your professional library and accelerate your work on sustainable, high-temperature electrolysis solutions.
