The research project titled “Advanced Renewable Hydrogen Production Using a Micro-Tubular Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell with Cerium-Based Materials,” prepared by faculty members of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, has been selected for funding within the scope of the TÜBİTAK – Malaysia Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) Bilateral Cooperation Program (2568).
The project is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Selahattin Çelik, a faculty member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Director of the Hydrogen Technologies and Energy Applications Research Center (H2TEAM). The project team also includes Prof. Dr. Hasan Özcan and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatma Doğan Güzel, faculty members of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, serving as researchers.
Within the scope of the project, a next-generation approach for hydrogen production from renewable energy sources will be developed using Micro-Tubular Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs), one of the high-temperature electrolysis technologies. The study particularly aims to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen production systems, reduce costs, and improve cell durability through the use of advanced cerium-based materials.
This international collaboration project between Türkiye and Malaysia aims to strengthen the research capacity of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the fields of hydrogen technologies, electrolyzer systems, and clean energy technologies at an international level.
