This work aims at a better understanding of the high temperature Solid Oxide Cells degradation. An approach based on electrochemical tests, advanced post-test characterizations and multi-scale models has been used to investigate the links between the performances, the electrodes microstructure and their degradation. In that goal, long-term durability tests have been performed over thousand hours in different operating conditions. Electrode microstructures have been reconstructed by X-ray nano-holotomography for the pristine and the aged cells. It is worth noting that a special attention has been paid to improve both the process reliability for the tomographic experiments as well as the spatial resolution of the 3D reconstructed images.
