Abstract

Hydrogen is an important green energy source and chemical raw material for various industrial processes. At present, the major technique of hydrogen production is steam methane reforming (SMR), which suffers from high energy penalties and enormous CO2 emissions. As an alternative, chemical looping water-splitting (CLWS) technology represents an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly method for hydrogen production. The key to CLWS lies in the selection of suitable oxygen carriers (OCs) that hold outstanding sintering resistance, structural reversibility, and capability to release lattice oxygen and deoxygenate the steam for hydrogen generation. Described herein are the recent advances in designing OCs, including simple metal oxides (e.g., Fe, Zn, Ce, and Ti-based metal oxides) and composite metal oxides (e.g., perovskite, spinel, and garnets), for different CLWS processes with emphasis on the crucial parameters that determine their redox performance and future challenges.
