Integrated solar-driven high-temperature electrolysis operating with concentrated irradiation

Jan Van Herle, Sophia Haussener, Stefan Diethelm, Clemens Gregor Suter, Meng Lin

High-temperature electrolysis for reducing H2O (and CO2) to H2 (and CO) converts concentrated solar energy into fuels and chemical feedstock. We invented an integrated reactor concept comprising a solar cavity receiver for reactant heating, a solid oxide e ...
