Solar thermochemical splitting of water to generate hydrogen.
Solar photochemical means of splitting water (artificial photosynthesis) to generate hydrogen is emerging as a viable process. The solar thermochemical route also promises to be an attractive means of achieving this objective. In this paper we present different types of thermochemical cycles that one can use for the purpose. These include the low-temperature multistep process as well as the hig...
متن کاملAnalysis of Solar Thermochemical Water-Splitting Cycles for Hydrogen Production
Approach • Review all published papers, reports, patents, etc. in the past 25+ years that relate to thermochemical water-splitting cycles, in general, and solar driven cycles, in particular. • Use FactSageTM program to perform chemical equilibrium calculations. • Employ HYSYS/ASPEN Plus chemical process simulation (CPS) program for developing process flowsheet, process analyses and optimization...
متن کاملThermochemical solar hydrogen generation.
Solar direct, indirect and hybrid thermochemical processes are presented for the generation of hydrogen and compared to alternate solar hydrogen processes. A hybrid solar thermal/electrochemical process combines efficient photovoltaics and concentrated excess sub-bandgap heat into highly efficient elevated temperature solar electrolysis of water and generation of H2 fuel utilizing the thermodyn...
متن کاملThermochemical water splitting cycles
Two processes to effect splitting of the water molecule by means of an external heat source are competing for adoption, for the long-term production of hydrogen: high-temperature electrolysis, and splitting the water molecule through a succession of chemical reactions: a thermochemical cycle. Both processes form part of a strategy of voluntary reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions, and of alter...
متن کاملSolar Hydrogen Production via a Samarium Oxide-Based Thermochemical Water Splitting Cycle
The computational thermodynamic analysis of a samarium oxide-based two-step solar thermochemical water splitting cycle is reported. The analysis is performed using HSC chemistry software and databases. The first (solar-based) step drives the thermal reduction of Sm2O3 into Sm and O2. The second (non-solar) step corresponds to the production of H2 via a water splitting reaction and the oxidation...
