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 ...
We numerically assessed the potential of a solar reactor concept for efficient fuel processing under concentrated solar irradiation. This design integrates a cavity receiver, a tubular solid oxide electrolyzer, and the concentrated photovoltaic cells into ...
Rapidly increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and their damaging impact on the global climate system raise doubts about the sustainability of the fossil resource based energy system. Meanwhile, raising living standards and increasing global popul ...
At the dawn of the 21st century, mankind is facing an important energy challenge. Future energy demand can only be met by large scale exploitation of renewable energy resources. Solar energy is abundant, with a sufficient capacity for the growing energy de ...
Concentrated solar energy is an ideal energy source for hightemperature energy conversion processes such as concentrated solar power generation, solar thermochemical fuel production, and solar driven hightemperature electrolysis. Indirectly irradiated sola ...
We present a techno-economic analysis of solar-driven hightemperature electrolysis systems used for the production of hydrogen and synthesis gas. We consider different strategies for the incorporation of solar energy, distinguished by the use of differing ...
We numerically investigate the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy by integrated photo-electrochemical (IPEC) devices and assess their response to time-dependent changes in the boundary conditions and the material properties. We focus on a devi ...
Achieving high current densities while maintaining high energy conversion efficiency is one of the main challenges for enhanc-ing the competitiveness of photo-electrochemical devices. We describe a concept that allows this challenge to be overcome by opera ...
The functionality of photo-driven electrochemical devices relies on complicated and coupled multi-physics processes, taking place on multiple temporal and spatial scales. Device modelling actively and efficiently supports the choice of the most interesting ...
The present invention relates to process intensification, and renewable processing routes for polymer production, for example the solar production of Nylon 6,6 and precursors relevant for the Nylon 6,6 production (such as hydrogen, adiponitrile and hexaned ...
