Abstract

The perovskite type metal oxides (ABO3: A and B are metal elements) are attractive material for the two-step water splitting process to produce solar hydrogen, because the diversity of perovskite compound with substitution of metal ion makes its reducibility changeable. The perovskite-type cobalt and manganese oxides are prepared with substitution of metal ion in the A-site, and the performance of two-step water splitting reaction is investigated. The LaCoO3 and Ca0.45Sr0.4La0.15MnO3-δ, containing more trivalent metal ions in the A-site of perovskite structure, are most promising materials for solar hydrogen production. It is found that the two-step water-splitting reaction with Ca0.45Sr0.4La0.15MnO3-δ of the perovskite-type manganese oxide proceed stoichiometrically and Ca0.45Sr0.4La0.15MnO3-δ can produce much H2 gas (4cm3/g-sample) at the reduction temperature of 1400 °C.
