The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Northwestern University (Penn Northwestern) to develop and test novel Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) specifically designed to achieve the low area specific resistance required to achieve high round trip efficiency in reversible operation at high current density. Three SOC designs would be developed, with two being down-selected for fabrication and testing, and one ultimately being down-selected for optimization and final year testing. The project would be carried out over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
