Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is an attractive renewable technology capable of producing synthesis gas (H_2⁺CO) from H₂O and CO₂. An SOEC consists of a solid oxide electrolyte and two ceramic or metal-ceramic electrodes. H₂O and CO₂ are electrolyzed at the cathode producing H₂ and CO, releasing O^2- ions, which travel through the electrolyte to the anode side and recombine to produce pure oxygen gas as the byproduct. In the present study, a La_0.7Sr_0.2Ni_0.2Fe_0.8O₃ cathode was used to co-electrolyze H₂O and CO₂ at three different operating temperatures- 700 °C, 750 °C and 800 °C. Synthesis gas was produced at all three operating temperatures with 100% Faradaic efficiency. The composition of the syngas, however, was found to be a function of the operating temperature. In general, the H₂/CO ratio in the syngas decreased with increased temperature. This was partially due to CO₂ electrolysis becoming more favorable compared to H₂O electrolysis at higher temperatures.
