High-temperature hydrogen production by solar thermochemical reactors, metal interfaces, and nanofluid cooling

Cu–Cl Thermochemical Water Splitting Cycle: Probing Temperature-Dependent CuCl2 Hydrolysis and Thermolysis Reaction Using In Situ XAS

“…In search of efficient conversion route using renewable sources, thermochemical cycles are considered as viable environmentally friendly route. Over the last decade, vast research interest has been shown towards thermochemical cycles driven by solar/nuclear heat source for large-scale hydrogen production [3][4][5][6]. Many thermochemical cycles have been tested for their suitability for hydrogen production.…”

Solar-driven thermochemical conversion of H2O and CO2 into sustainable fuels

“…173 If the parabolic dish concentrator (optimal diameter is 5.168m) is optimized, the amount of hydrogen produced can reach 34 mol m −3 in a 10 kWth solar reactor. 174 In addition, some researchers even used the simulated concentrated solar light to power the reaction and directly equated the concentrated solar energy to a specific value or assumed the temperatures provided by concentrated solar energy to be known to simplify the model in their numerical studies. 175 , 176 , 177 This is majorly because their focus is on thermochemical redox cycle process and its performance, rather than concentrated solar technology.…”

Potential effect of SARS-CoV-2 on solar energy generation: Environmental dynamics and implications

“…Photovoltaic (PV) power is known as a popular resource among the various sources of renewable energy, which is well accepted due to some benefits such as free access, the presence of sunlight in most areas, the absence of rotating sections, the adaptation to the roofs of residential houses, and the low cost of repair and maintenance [11] . The power output of a photovoltaic system depends largely on its exposure to sunlight and solar panel temperature, and the power-voltage curve (P-V) has a unique MPP (Safari and Mekhilef 2010).…”
