Published at Energy Conversion and Management – Selection of iron-based oxygen carriers for two-step solar thermochemical splitting of carbon dioxide

Abstract: The two-step solar thermochemical cycle is a prospective clean energy technology that enables the direct splitting of water and carbon dioxide for solar fuel production. However, immature oxygen carriers fundamentally restrict the solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency and thus prevent this technology from immediate industrial uptake. Focusing on the conventional iron-based oxygen carriers, this study intends …

Published at Energy Conversion and Management – Structural stabilization of granular Ca(OH)2 by coating with nanostructured additives for thermochemical cycling in a fixed reaction bed

Abstract: Thermochemical energy storage systems have a high potential to support a future energy supply based on renewables by providing comparably high storage capacities and option for long-term, cold and loss free storage, that allows a flexible utilization in several application areas. Due to its cost efficiency and abundance the reaction system Ca(OH)2/CaO is currently …

How can Synhelion’s solar receiver achieve such high temperatures?

How can Synhelion’s solar receiver reach such high temperatures? Synhelion’s solar receiver achieves a temperature of 1,500°C and higher. That’s unprecedented. Even the Gen3 particle-based solar receiver being pilot-scale tested now at Sandia – and the DLR CentRec receiver licensed to Heliogen – operate at the (relatively!) lower temperature of 1,000°C. One of Synhelion’s solar …
