Enhanced Solar-to-Fuel Efficiency of Ceria-Based Thermochemical Cycles via Integrated Electrochemical Oxygen Pumping
Sophia Haussener, Clemens Gregor Suter, Meng Lin
The solar thermochemical cycle based on ceria is a promising route for renewable fuel production. The solar-to-fuel efficiency of a thermochemical reactor is highly dependent on the oxygen removal during the reduction step. Conventional nitrogen sweeping ( ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022High-valence metals improve oxygen evolution reaction performance by modulating 3dmetal oxidation cycle energetics
Likai Zheng, Yang Li, Yelin Hu, Jun Li, Ye Zhang, Ziyun Wang, Bo Zhang, Zhen Cao
Multimetal oxyhydroxides have recently been reported that outperform noble metal catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In such 3d-metal-based catalysts, the oxidation cycle of 3dmetals has been posited to act as the OER thermodynamic-limiting proc ...
NATURE RESEARCH2020Solar-Driven High-Temperature Electrolysis Reactor for Fuel Processing
Solar-driven high-temperature electrolysis (HTE) and thermochemical cycles (TCC) are two promising pathways for fuel processing and energy storage, which are considered in this thesis. The goals of this thesis are: i) offering engineering guidelines at sys ...
EPFL2018Understanding Digestive Ripening of Ligand-Stabilized, Charged Metal Nanoparticles
Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo
Most syntheses of thiolate-protected metal nanoparticles (NPs) include a thermochemical step in which the as-prepared, polydisperse NPs are transformed to a narrower size distribution in a poorly understood process known as digestive ripening (DR). Previou ...
American Chemical Society2017Modelling of Solar Thermochemical Reaction Systems
This article reviews the progress, challenges and opportunities in numerical modelling of thermal transport, thermochemical reactions and thermomechanics in high-temperature solar thermochemical systems. Continuum-scale models are presented in mathematical ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2017Co-production of Hydrogen and Electricity from Lignocellulosic Biomass: Process Design and Thermo-economic Optimization
François Maréchal, Laurence Tock
The thermochemical production of hydrogen from lignocellulosic biomass is systematically analyzed by developing environomic models combining thermodynamics with economic analysis, process integration techniques and optimization strategies for the conceptua ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2011RedOx Stability of Anode Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
The weakness of nickel-based solid oxide fuel cell anodes is their low ability to withstand re-oxidation at working temperature, especially for the anode-supported cell design. The volume expansion coming along with nickel (Ni) oxidation induces stresses i ...
EPFL2011Optimal technologies for the thermochemical production of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) from lignocellulosic biomass
François Maréchal, Martin Gassner
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to methane is a promising way to distribute a renewable resource as a versatile energy vector in an existing grid. Potentially more efficient than the production of liquid fuels, it can be used as Synthetic Natural ...
2010Thermo-economic Evaluation of the Thermochemical Production of Liquid Fuels from Biomass
François Maréchal, Martin Gassner, Laurence Tock
Different technological alternatives for the thermochemical production of liquid fuels from lignocellulosic biomass are systematically analyzed and optimized based on thermo-environomic models. The competitiveness of the production of Fischer-Tropsch fuel ...
2010Process Design Methodology for Thermochemical Production of Fuels from Biomass
Biomass is a renewable, yet scarce resource since land is limited. This thesis addresses the question how to efficiently convert the available lignocellulosic biomass and biomass wastes to fuel and other useful energy services. In particular, it presents a ...
