Scientometric analysis of research trends on solid oxide electrolysis cells for green hydrogen and syngas production

Abstract

Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a promising water electrolysis technology that produces hydrogen or syngas through water electrolysis or water and carbon dioxide co-electrolysis. Green hydrogen or syngas can be produced by SOEC with renewable energy. Thus, SOEC has attracted continuous attention in recent years for the urgency of developing environmentally friendly energy sources and achieving carbon neutrality. Focusing on 1276 related articles retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database, the historical development of SOECs are depicted from 1983 to 2023 in this paper. The co-occurrence networks of the countries, source journals, and author keywords are generated. Moreover, three main clusters showing different content of the SOEC research are identified and analyzed. Furthermore, the scientometric analysis and the content of the high-cited articles of the research of different topics of SOECs: fuel electrode, air electrode, electrolyte, co-electrolysis, proton-conducting SOECs, and the modeling of SOECs are also presented. The results show that co-electrolysis and proton-conducting SOECs are two popular directions in the study of SOECs. This paper provides a straightforward reference for researchers interested in the field of SOEC research, helping them navigate the landscape of this area of study, locate potential partners, secure funding, discover influential scholars, identify leading countries, and access key research publications.
