West Virginia University

West Virginia University's project focused on using new highly durable materials that can operate at temperatures that are compatible with nuclear power.

A research project to advance hydrogen gas production using solid oxide electrolysis technology with nano-scale coating enhancements. The goal is to produce more hydrogen with reduced electricity consumption.

The mode of operation for solid oxide cells when used for electrolysis, typically to produce hydrogen.

Hydrogen will be used as the fuel for the ferry, with Air Products providing the fuel and refueling infrastructure.

Nano-scale material coatings applied to the internal surfaces of porous electrodes in solid oxide electrolysis cells to enhance performance. The coating is designed to increase catalytic activity and durability of the electrolysis cells.
