Abstract
A thermochemical two-step water-splitting cycle using perovskite oxides based on LaSrMnAlO3 was examined for hydrogen production from water using concentrated solar radiation. Concurrent Sr and Mn substitutions in La1-xSrxMnxAl1-xO3, Sr and Al substitutions in La1-ySryMn1-yAlyO3, and substitution of Al by Cr in La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-zCrzO3 were examined, and their kinetics, oxygen/hydrogen productivity, and repeatability were compared against LaSrMnAlO3. The impact of the chemical compositions of the perovskite oxides was systematically examined at a thermal reduction temperature of 1350 °C and water decomposition temperatures of 1000–1200 °C. From the viewpoints of average amounts of oxygen and hydrogen produced and the H2/O2 ratios, La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.9Cr0.1O3 and La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.8Cr0.2O3 provided the most reproducible productions of oxygen and hydrogen in the thermochemical two-step water-splitting cycle.
