摘要

Solid oxide cells (SOCs) efficiently interconvert chemicals and electricity. However, they are primarily confined to 2D design and fabrication technologies. Planar SOC stacks require complex multi-material components, leading to reduced compactness and high specific weight. Here we escape the 2D paradigm and adopt a true 3D design based on triply periodic minimal surface structures, enabling superior performance on gravimetric and volumetric bases. Leveraging the resolution and accuracy of additive manufacturing, we demonstrate a monolithic, gyroidal SOC that eliminates the need for metallic interconnects and sealing components. The monolith achieves optimal spatial utilization, exceptional mass-specific indexes, a straightforward manufacturing procedure and high electrochemical and thermomechanical stability. The specific power and volumetric power density surpass 1 W g−1 and 3 W cm−3 in fuel cell mode, and the mass-index and volume-index hydrogen production rates are about 7 × 10−4 Nm3 h−1 g−1 and 2 × 10−3 Nm3 h−1 cm−3 in electrolysis mode, nearly an order of magnitude enhancement compared to planar stacks.
