Cover Feature: Li—Co Dual‐Doped Ceria‐Based Composite as a Promising Low‐Temperature Electrolyte for Metal‐Supported Solid Oxide Electrolyzers (ChemSusChem 2/2026)

Key Points

The dual-doped ceria electrolyte demonstrates superior O2− ion transport at low temperatures.
Experimental results indicate that densification occurs effectively below 1000 °C, promoting grain connectivity.
Developed through a novel approach, the ceria-based composite shows potential for use in solid oxide electrolysis systems.
This work suggests that enhancing ionic conductivity through dual doping could significantly improve hydrogen production efficiency.

Abstract

The Cover Feature illustrates a Li—Co dual-doped gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte that enables fast O2− ion transport and low-temperature densification below 1000 °C. The schematic highlights enhanced grain connectivity, oxygen vacancy–assisted conduction, and their application in metal-supported solid oxide electrolysis cells for efficient hydrogen production.
