Investigation of hybrid thermochemical looping process for green hydrogen production

该项目的主要目标是开发一种基于金属/金属氧化物还原-氧化循环的新的热化学循环工艺，以实现氢气的可持续生产。与目前的金属/金属氧化物回路相比，该系统的混合方法允许在相对较低的温度下进行水分离。该项目的实验部分包括建立一种新的电解液(过渡金属氢氧化物系统)并测量还原和氧化单元的性能(电化学电池性能、EIS分析和活性循环化合物的植物化学特性)。

The main objective of this project is to develop a new thermochemical looping process based on the application of metal/metal oxide reduction-oxidation (redox) cycles for the sustainable production of hydrogen. The hybrid approach of this system allows water splitting to take place at relatively lower temperatures compared to the current metal/metal-oxide loops. The experimental part of the project involves setting up to use of a novel electrolytic solution (transition metal hydroxide system) and measuring the performance of both the reduction and oxidation units (electrochemical cell performance, EIS analysis, and phytochemical characterisation of the active recirculating compounds).
