Victor Torben Rene Jacobsen

Victor Torben Rene Jacobsen is a researcher at the Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in electrochemical systems and material science. His work primarily focuses on degradation mechanisms in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and electrolysis cells, particularly Ni migration in electrodes and interfacial dynamics in PtIr-YSZ systems.

His research interests include:

• Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) and Electrolysis Cells
• Dielectric Spectroscopy
• Material degradation and polarization effects
• Intermetallic compounds and cermet electrodes
• Oxide compound stability under operational conditions

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding Ni migration trends, electrode passivation, and structural-performance correlations in SOFC anodes. He collaborates with institutions across Denmark and beyond, with a strong emphasis on sustainable energy technologies aligned with UN SDGs like affordable clean energy (SDG 7) and industry innovation (SDG 9).

As a main supervisor for multiple PhD projects, he mentors graduate researchers in topics related to intercalation reactions, lithium-based materials, and advanced oxidation processes. His work involves experimental techniques such as scanning electron microscopy and impedance analysis.
