Solar thermal water splitting (STWS) produces renewable (or green) hydrogen from water
using concentrated sunlight. Because STWS utilizes energy from the entire solar spectrum to …

High temperature solar thermochemical processes for fuels and chemical commodities
production have been studied for decades and their feasibility is now proven. However …

The use of hydrogen as a renewable fuel has been stymied by our inability to produce it
cleanly and economically. The conventional solar thermochemical approach considers a …

Methanol, as a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, exhibits advantageous features such as easy
storage, transportability, and low energy consumption at ambient conditions, making it a …

The conversion of biomass through thermochemical processes has emerged as a promising
approach to meet the demand for alternative renewable fuels. However, these processes …

Solar parabolic trough thermochemical reactor (SPTR) exhibits poor comprehensive
performance due to the intermittent solar influence. In this work, a Bézier parametric curve …

To alleviate the effect of solar radiation fluctuation on the solar volumetric reactor, phase
change material (PCM) is applied to buffer the temperature vibration and improve the …

Solar thermochemical hydrogen production from water is a path towards a carbon-free
sustainable hydrogen economy. Here, isothermal on-sun hydrogen production is …

In this work, an adaptive proportional/proportional-integral (P/PI) control strategy is proposed
for a solar-driven volumetric methane/steam reforming reactor (SVMSR) with passive …

Electrical power production by renewable energy sources is unpredictable in nature and this
may cause imbalance between power generation and demand. Therefore, an accurate …
