High-temperature isothermal chemical cycling for solar-driven fuel production.
The possibility of producing chemical fuel (hydrogen) from the solar-thermal energy input using an isothermal cycling strategy is explored. The canonical thermochemical reactive oxide, ceria, is reduced under high temperature and inert sweep gas, and in the second step oxidized by H2O at the same temperature. The process takes advantage of the oxygen chemical potential difference between the in...
متن کاملDesign Principles for Metal Oxide Redox Materials for Solar-Driven Isothermal Fuel Production.
The performance of metal oxides as redox materials is limited by their oxygen conductivity and thermochemical stability. Predicting these properties from the electronic structure can support the screening of advanced metal oxides and accelerate their development for clean energy applications. Specifically, reducible metal oxide catalysts and potential redox materials for the solar-thermochemica...
متن کاملOn-chip Device for Isothermal, Chemical Cycling Polymerase Chain Reaction
We demonstrate a novel chemical cycling polymerase chain reaction (ccPCR) technique for DNA amplification in a fully working device where temperature is held constant in space and time. We demonstrate successful ccPCR amplification while simultaneously focusing products via isotachophoresis (ITP) for identification of the environmental bacteria E. Coli. We electrophoretically drive the DNA samp...
متن کاملMetalloporphyrin-modified semiconductors for solar fuel production.
We report a direct one-step method to chemically graft metalloporphyrins to a visible-light-absorbing gallium phosphide semiconductor with the aim of constructing an integrated photocathode for light activating chemical transformations that include capturing, converting, and storing solar energy as fuels. Structural characterization of the hybrid assemblies is achieved using surface-sensitive s...
متن کاملEfficiency maximization in solar-thermochemical fuel production: challenging the concept of isothermal water splitting.
Widespread adoption of solar-thermochemical fuel production depends on its economic viability, largely driven by the efficiency of use of the available solar resource. Herein, we analyze the efficiency of two-step cycles for thermochemical hydrogen production, with emphasis on efficiency. Owing to water thermodynamics, isothermal H2 production is shown to be impractical and inefficient, irrespe...
