DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mathias Kiefer (University of the Witwatersrand )\nS
 olid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have emerged as a promising candidate in the
  search for an efficient and environmentally friendly source of electrical
  energy. SOFCs offer several benefits over traditional sources of electric
 ity\, such as high efficiency and reduced emissions. However\, SOFCs have 
 experienced limited commercialization due to short device lifespans and hi
 gh operating temperatures\, the latter feature is largely dictated by the 
 electrolyte material. The quest for improved electrolyte materials\, which
  would ideally exhibit properties such as high phase stability and high io
 nic conductivity at intermediate temperatures (~650 oC)\, remains a critic
 al aspect in advancing SOFC performance and application. Advanced synchrot
 ron techniques are required to investigate the local and long-range struct
 ural details which determine the overall electrolyte performance. I will p
 resent selected work wherein advanced synchrotron techniques at elevated t
 emperatures were used to investigate the structure of bismuth oxide- and l
 anthanum molybdate-based materials to probe the suitability of these mater
 ials as SOFC electrolytes.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/249/contrib
