Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a promising technology for CO₂ electrolysis and subsequent conversion to useful chemicals. This thesis combines the experimental development of new cathode materials with system-level simulation to enhance the performance of SOECs for CO2 electrolysis and assess their applicability for fuel production. There are two components to the work: (1) proposing nanoparticle decorated perovskites cathode material and (2) integration of DAC, SOEC and synfuel production and asses its performance with techno-economic and environmental analysis.

In the experimental section, the focus was on the cathode material of the SOEC since it is the limiting factor for CO₂ electrolysis.
