<p>High-temperature steam electrolysis cell comprises a pressure vessel divided into an outer channel (11) and an inner channel (12) by a gas- and pressure-tight solid electrolyte (10) with a gas-permeable cathode (14) on the outside and a gas-permeable anode (15) on the inside, an oxygen outlet (8) connected to the inner channel, and an electrically conductive packing or melt (16) making contact with the cathode in the outer channel and with the anode in the inner channel. An independent claim is also included for a high-temperature steam electrolysis process using a cell as above, in which steam at high temperature and pressure is passed through the outer channel to produce hydrogen and oxygen, and the oxygen is transported through the solid electrolyte into the inner channel, from which it is withdrawn.</p> |
