Reactor Scale-Up of Copper-Chlorine Cycle of Hydrogen Production from Proof of Principle to Large Engineering Scale
RSS Feed

 

Background and Challenges

Hydrogen produced from water splitting and clean energy sources is predicted by many to be a clean fuel that will serve as a substitute for conventional fuels because its oxidation does not emit greenhouse gases. Numerous thermochemical water splitting cycles have been proposed for clean hydrogen production. The copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle has a relatively low temperature requirement compared with other cycles and therefore is viewed as a promising method.
