Research progress on coupling solid oxide electrolysis cell technology with chemical processes for chemicals production
Solid oxide electrolysis cell(SOEC)technology can convert thermal energy and electrical energy into chemical energy.Due to its unique advantage of effectively utilizing high-temperature waste heat,it can help the energy system achieve clean and efficient development and has been developed for applications in hydrogen production and carbon dioxide conversion.However,the high cost and insufficient integration with traditional industries limit the widespread adoption of this technology.Coupling SOEC technology with chemical processes for chemical production can not only achieve multifunctionality of SOEC-based energy conversion systems but also improve the economic viability of related projects.Focusing on the forefront of SOEC technology development,the research progress in coupling SOEC technology with chemical processes for chemical production(methanol,ammonia,methane,ethylene,etc)was summarized,the characteristics of relevant path processes were analyzed,and breakthroughs in related application scenarios at home and abroad were reviewed.The aim is to promote the deep integration of SOEC technology with traditional chemical industries and explore potential applications of SOEC.
