The study focuses on the development of perovskite oxide structured catalysts for a two-step thermochemical water splitting method that enables the sustainable production of hydrogen from renewable sources. Metal oxides with high redox capacity (<10:1, MOx-H2), fast reaction kinetics and structural stability during thermal cycles are needed for efficient hydrogen production in this method, which is based on thermochemical processes that allow pure hydrogen to be produced alone. The low cost of metal oxides with these properties is also a requirement for their widespread use. Read more
