Abstract | Developing durable redox materials with fast and stable redox kinetics under high-temperature operating conditions is a key challenge for an efficient industrial-scale production of synthesis gas via two step solar thermochemical redox cycles. Here, we investigate novel electrospun nanostructured La3+-doped strontium manganites, LSM (LaxSr1-xMnO3, x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, and 1), for an efficient CO production with high redox kinetics. The oxidation behavior of these LSM powders was assessed in terms of oxygen recovery and CO yield via thermogravimetric analysis by using air and CO(2, )as oxidation medium. Strontium manganate (SrMnO3) shows the highest CO yield per cycle of 854.20 mu mol g(-1) at a rate of similar to 400 mu mol g(-1) min(-1) when reduced at 1400 degrees C and reoxidized at 1000 degrees C, with high oxygen exchange capacity in terms of oxygen nonstoichiometry of up to 0.29, during CO(2,)( )splitting cycles. However, lanthanum manganite (LaMnO3) demonstrated high yield of CO of 329 mu mol g(-1) with a rate of 110 mu mol min(-1)g(-1) when reduced at 1000 degrees C and reoxidized at 700 degrees C, which is 3 times higher than the yield for SrMnO3 at the same conditions. The oxygen recovery in LSM samples was 4-15% higher during oxidation with air than with CO2. Moreover, the improved structural stability of these nanopowders indicates the potential of electrospinning technique for an up-scale synthesis of oxygen carriers. These findings show that a selective LSM system can be utilized for enhanced CO yield with high kinetics and structural stability at reduction temperatures 1000-1400 degrees C. |
