3. High-temperature electrolysis
The principle of a basic high-temperature electrolysis (EHT) cell is shown schematically in Figure

. This technology does not require a noble metal catalyst and uses rare earth elements, which are less expensive. Similar to low-temperature electrolysers, a high-temperature electrolysis cell consists of two electrodes and an electrolyte, which separates the electrodes and conducts oxide ions O

. The half-reactions occurring at the anode and cathode are given by the equations
