Abstract
Using metal oxides as carriers, the solar-driven two-step reaction can efficiently convert CO2 into clean fuel, thereby promoting carbon emission reduction and renewable energy production simultaneously. The solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency is directly determined by the design, parameters, composition, and structure of the solar reactor. This work is comprehensively reviewed based on state of the art CeO2 and perovskites. It covers key aspects such as the mechanism of thermochemical CO2 decomposition by metal oxides, the influence of metal ion doping on redox reaction activity, and the impact of morphological specificity and pore structure on thermal radiation, mass transfer properties, and fuel generation kinetics. Additionally, prospective porous structure fabrication technologies with high applicability potential but currently underexplored in thermochemical cycles are highlighted. Key insights are presented for the design and fabrication of porous ceramics in solar thermal chemical fuel synthesis, bridging sustainable energy conversion with technological advancements.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
