  • Descrição: Solid oxide electrochemical cells (SOCs) can store electrical energy in the form of chemical fuels with high efficiency by electrolysis of CO2 and H2O. However, achieving commercially relevant lifetime is hindered by degradation mechanisms such as carbon deposition, which can even destroy the cell especially during electrolysis where carbon formation is electrochemically driven at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Here we used a three-dimensional multiphysics model to simulate a SOC performing CO2 electrolysis and determine the operating conditions and locations in the porous nickel-based electrodes where carbon deposition is expected based on local conditions (gas composition, temperature and overpotential) crossing local thermodynamic thresholds. It is found that CO/CO2 gas diffusion gradients and cooling from the endothermic electrolysis reaction are important driving forces for carbon deposition to occur locally when it is not expected based on the outlet CO concentration. Furthermore, correlation with a set of experimentally determined threshold operating points indicates that carbon deposition occurs primarily by the Boudouard reaction rather than by direct electrochemical reduction of CO or CO2 to carbon for the studied cell type. Variation of fuel electrode porosity and thickness shows that these methods of reducing gas diffusion limitations widen the operating window that avoids carbon deposition. •Gas diffusion and temperature are important driving forces for C deposition.•C formation occurs primarily by the Boudouard reaction for the cell considered.•C deposition can be avoided by thinner and more porous electrodes.
