报告摘要：
Proton ceramic electrochemical cells (PCECs) represent a rapidly advancing class of solid-state devices that enable efficient energy conversion and storage through the transport of protons in oxide ceramics. In this lecture, Professor Truls Norby will present recent progress and fundamental insights into proton-conducting oxide materials, with emphasis on the defect chemistry, hydration, and transport mechanisms that govern their electrochemical behavior. He will discuss how these fundamental principles translate into the design and optimization of proton ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) and proton ceramic electrolysis cells (PCECs) for hydrogen production, CO₂ conversion, and other sustainable energy processes. The presentation will further highlight advances in electrode interface engineering, operando characterization, and materials innovation that bridge the gap between fundamental understanding and practical implementation. Drawing on his extensive research and industrial experience, Professor Norby will also share perspectives on the scaling, integration, and commercialization of proton-conducting ceramic technologies for next-generation electrochemical energy systems.
