We report the discovery of a new class of oxides – poly-cation oxides (PCOs) – that consist of multiple cations and can thermochemically split water in a two-step cycle to produce hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2).
Dissociation of CO2 to form CO can play a key role in decarbonizing our energy system. Fe-poor ferrites exhibit significantly higher capacity for thermochemical CO2 dissociation than state-of-the-art materials such as ceria and perovskites.
The solubilities of La and Ni on LaNiO3 in Li/K carbonate eutectic with La2O3 have been investigated. The solubilities of La and Ni were 1.9 × 10−2 (mole fraction) and 1.2 × 10−5 (mole fraction) under CO2/O2 of 0.7/0.3 at 923 K. The extraction of Ni from LaNiO3 in molten carbonate saturated with La2O3 was almost 57% lower than that from NiO in a molten carbonate without La2O3.
Thermochemical looping splitting of water and carbon dioxide (CO2) with greenhouse-gas-free (GHG-free) energy has the potential to help address the Gt-scale GHG emissions challenge. Reaction thermodynamics largely contributes to the...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
