The 22nd International Conference on Solid-State Proton Conductors | SSPC22 — a leading event for researchers and experts in the field – took take place in DTU – Technical University of Denmark on 14-19 September 2025. The project Hy-SPIRE participated in the event with posters and talks!
Our Project Manager Anna Niemczyk represented Hy-SPIRE in the panel discussion entitled “Proton Conducting Ceramics: Where Do We Want to Go — and What Could Stop Us?”. The panel session will gather the representatives of the projects Single, SustainCell, ProtoStack, PEPPER and leading voices from across the globe, with the purpose to discuss commercialization pathways, roadmaps, and the key roadblocks for proton-conducting ceramic (PCC) technologies — while raising awareness of ongoing projects worldwide.
Great discussion that raised the interest of the audience!
Numerous researchers from the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage of the Technical University of Denmark participated in the event with poster presentations.
Sara Hjelme presented the poster entitled Optimizing Ni/BCZYYb7111 Fuel Electrode Microstructure in Proton Conducting Cells. The poster showed results that demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating half-cells by integrating a fuel electrode into the current cell architecture. Unlike the porous support, the incorporated fuel electrode does not exhibit large pores, which could lead to a higher catalytically active area.
The poster of Hendrik Marc Vincent Bohn focused on Scaling Planar Proton-Conducting Ceramic Cells towards Industrial-Relevant Sizes.
Last but not least, Kimia Yousefi Javan presented the work entitled Multilayer co-casting to large-scale proton-conductive cells.
