چکیده
A cation-excess (Ni,Mn) ferrite N~o.~zMno.51Fe2.0504.0 with a single phase was synthesized by heating the mixture of corresponding metal salts and oxide in 5% 02175% C02120% N2 gas mixture for 18h at 1100C. It could be thermochemically activated to form a cation-excess ferrite Nio,5z~l+s~Mno.51~l+6~Fe2~05~1+6~0440 in N2 gas at elevated temperature: The ( value was 0.03 1 at 1100C. The activated (Ni,Mn) femte was reacted with water to form Hz gas at 700C. The process was reversible and could be carried out repeatedly.

Utilizing cyanobacteria as a bioenergy resource is difficult due to the cost and energy consuming harvests of microalgal biomass. In this study, an auto-floating system was developed by increasing the photobiological H2 production in the heterocysts of filamentous cyanobacteria. An amount of 1.0 μM of diuron, which inhibited O2 production in cyanobacteria, resulted in a high rate of H2 producti...

متن کاملUsing In-situ Techniques to Probe High Temperature Reactions: Thermochemical Cycles for the Production of Synthetic Fuels from Co2 Andwater
Ferrites are promising materials for enabling solar-thermochemical cycles. Such cycles utilize solar-thermal energy to reduce the metal oxide, which is then re-oxidized by H2O or CO2, producing H2 or CO, respectively. Mixing ferrites with zirconia or yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) greatly improves their cyclability. In order to understand this system, we have studied the behavior of iron oxid...
