As the world seeks sustainable energy alternatives, fuel cells and electrolyzers emerge as a promising solution. These electrochemical devices play critical roles in the clean energy landscape. 

Global initiatives and actions to reach long-term climate goals are evidently resulting in the development and industrialization of new electrolyzer systems. Significant growth of announced electrolyzer projects is forecasted each year and solid oxide electrolyzers (SOEC) are one of the most promising technologies.

Driving range is one of the key sales drivers of battery electric vehicles and to the end customers, every kilometer counts. There are several ways the total efficiency of the vehicle can be increased, such as improving aerodynamics or decreasing vehicle weight, but one of the major contributors is an efficient thermal management system (VTMS).

The battery is undoubtedly the most complex component of modern electric cars and is largely responsible for the driving experience and range. However, over the course of its service life, it is subject to a continuous loss of performance due to degradation mechanisms that impair its storage capacity and thus the range and power output of the vehicle.

Electromobility is facing a key challenge: battery charging times must be minimized in order to increase the acceptance of electric vehicles. This is of key importance as, alongside range, charging time is one of the most important factors for user satisfaction.

Understanding and managing the influence of soiling on a vehicle is a critical aspect of driving safety that needs to be considered while designing vehicles. Soiling or contamination can be caused by the deposition of fluid and solid contaminants on the vehicle surface due to splashing, harsh weather conditions while driving, ...
