HyP3D project consortium holds distinguished facilities for the development and characterization of advanced ceramic materials and new energy storage/production technologies based on both conventional and additivemanufacturing techniques. The consortium as a whole is capable of exploring innovative ideas starting from material development and going all the way to the final stages of device/application development and real scenarios implementation.
Material Characterization at IREC
- Scanning Electron Microscopy -Zeiss Auriga / Gemini 30kV schottky FESEM column.
- Transmission Electron Microscopy – Zeiss Libra 120 (LaB6).
- Confocal microscopy – Sensofar Plu Neox.
- X-Ray Diffraction – Brucker.
- AFM – Park Systems XE7.
- Contact angle – Dataphysics.
Test stations for large area cells at IREC
IREC is equipped with three test station for real dimension solid oxide cells. They can be used in both SOFC and SOEC modes:- From Single Repeating Unit to 5 kW stack.
- Steam and CO2 available.
- Micro gas chromatograph to analyse the outlet gas stream composition.
Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) at IREC
TERS uses a sharp metallic probe to enhance the Raman signal for surface analyses.It allows the detection of chemical and structural information at the nanoscale level, overcoming the spatial resolution of conventional Raman spectroscopy
Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy (GDOES) at IREC
GDOES determines the composition and depth distribution of elements:- Depth profiles of elemental composition with high resolution (100 µm – 1 nm).
- High sensitivity allows to detect trace elements and impurities at very low concentrations.
- Can detect almost all elements in the periodic table, including light elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen and lithium.
Electrochemical test stations at DTU Energy
DTU has more than 20 fully automatized rigs for testing of solid oxide fuel/electrolysis at single cell, short and full stack and module level, including one rig for high pressure testing, with detailed diagnostics such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
MareNostrum-IV at BSC
MareNostrum-IVis one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.Specifically, MareNostrum 4 has a disk storage capacity of 14 Petabytes and is connected to the Big Data infrastructures of BSC-CNS, which have a total capacity of 24.6 Petabytes. A high-speed Omnipath network connects all the components in the supercomputer to one another.
