Reversible Phase Transformations in Novel Ce-Substituted Perovskite Oxide Composites for Solar Thermochemical Redox Splitting of CO2

Abstract

Thermochemical splitting of CO2 and H2O via two-step metal oxide redox cycles offers a promising approach to produce solar fuels. Perovskite-type oxides with the general formula ABO3 have recently gained attention as an attractive redox material alternative to the state-of-the-art ceria, due to their high structural and thermodynamic tunability. A novel Ce-substituted lanthanum strontium manganite perovskite-oxide composite, La3+0.48Sr2+0.52(Ce4+0.06Mn3+0.79)O2.55 (LSC25M75) is introduced, aiming to bridge the gap between ceria and pe Show more
