Solar hydrogen production via two-step water-splitting thermochemical cycle is an appealing
and completely sustainable “green” process. This paper attempts to present a review on this …

In this work, an Arrhenius-based model for the high-temperature reduction and oxidation of
CeO2 is developed. The model is shown to agree well with both literature data for the …

In this work the thermodynamics of thermochemical fuel production using a CeO2 redox
cycle are studied. The need to reduce the oxygen partial pressure in order to improve …

Uniform heater temperature and high optical–thermal efficiency are crucial for the reliable
and economical operation of a Solar Dish/Stirling engine facility. The Monte-Carlo ray …

A two-step solar thermochemical cycle based on Co 3 O 4/CoO redox reactions integrated
into an Air Brayton cycle is considered for thermochemical heat storage. The two-step cycle …

A 1 kW thermochemical solar reactor/receiver fitted with a porous ceramic foam structure is
studied numerically to predict the thermal transfers inside the volumetric solar receiver. This …

Metasurfaces with metal-insulator-metal structures have attracted significant attention
because of their high optical performance. Their spectral emissivity/absorptivity can be …

An energy transfer and conversion model for high-temperature solar cavity receivers has
been developed using the transport behaviour of solar radiation as described by the spectral …

Harnessing concentrated high-flux solar energy to drive thermal processes over 1000° C for
fuel production and material processing has great potential to address environmental issues …

The present study focuses on a thermal model describing a rotary kiln reactor. Several
