High temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE) is one of the most promising ways for hydrogen mass production. To make this technology suitable from an economical point of view, each component of the system has to be optimized, from the balance of plant to the single solid oxide electrolysis cell. At th

✦ Synopsis
Electrolysis of steam and co-electrolysis of steam and carbon dioxide was studied in Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) stacks composed of Ni/YSZ electrode supported SOECs. The results of this study show that long-term electrolysis is feasible without notable degradation in these SOEC stacks. The degradation of the electrolysis cells was found to be influenced by the adsorption of impurities from the applied inlet gases, whereas the application of chromium containing interconnect plates and glass sealings do not seem to influence the durability when operated at 850 C. Cleaning the inlet gases to the Ni/YSZ electrode resulted in operation without long-term degradation, and may therefore be a solution for operating these Ni/YSZ based SOEC stacks without degradation.

## Abstract In the present study, a series of Ir‐based catalysts, supported on Al~2~O~3~, ZrO~2~, CeO~2~, and Ce~x~Zr~1‐x~O~2~, are investigated for the production of hydrogen by the high temperature steam reforming of methanol (SRM). Results show that CeO~2~ and Ce~x~Zr~1‐x~O~2~ can promote the CO
