Researchers at Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi have made significant strides in the field of concentrated solar thermal (CST) energy with the development of a groundbreaking perovskite mix. This innovation aims to lower the costs of solar fuels and enhance thermal energy storage efficiency. The research, presented at the 30th SolarPACES Conference, focuses on a Two-Step Thermochemical Conversion process using a novel Nd1-xSrxMnO3 Perovskite. The team's co-author, Khalid Al-Ali, highlighted the potential of perovskites in scalable renewable energy applications. By tailoring the composition of perovskite materials, researchers can achieve faster kinetics and higher yields in fuel production. Compared to traditional ceria materials, perovskites offer improved oxygen capacity and operational efficiencies, making them ideal candidates for solar fuel applications. The study involved testing the perovskite mix through thermogravimetric analysis, demonstrating the material's ability to undergo two-step cycles successfully. Results showed that the addition of strontium as a side dopant enhanced the material's rate of yields and structural stability, with the 40% strontium-doped neodymium-based manganite perovskites showing the best performance in oxygen and carbon monoxide production. Perovskites' unique ability to undergo redox cycling over a wide temperature range makes them suitable for high-temperature applications such as solar fuels production. The research focuses on converting CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) through a two-step thermochemical process. The ultimate goal is to create drop-in liquid fuels from renewable sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Aside from solar fuel production, the perovskite mix's high-temperature tolerance also positions it as a viable option for efficient thermal energy storage, crucial for continuous operation in solar fuel production. By converting CO2 into CO, researchers aim to mitigate carbon emissions and harness the industrial applications of carbon monoxide, paving the way for sustainable energy and chemical production.
