摘要/Abstract

摘要： A kind of solar thermochemical cycle based on methanothermal reduction of SnO₂ is proposed for H₂ and CO production. We find that the oxygen release capacity and thermodynamic driven force for methanothermal reduction of SnO₂ are large, and suggest CH₄:SnO₂=2:1 as the feasible reduction condition for achieving high purities of syngas and avoiding vaporization of produced Sn. Subsequently, the amount of H₂ and energetic upgrade factors under different oxidation conditions are compared, in which excess water vapor is found beneficial for hydrogen production and fuel energetic upgradation. Moreover, the effect of incomplete recovery of SnO₂ on the subsequent cycle is underscored and explained. After accounting for factors such as isothermal operation and cycle stability, CH₄:SnO₂=2:1 and H₂O:Sn=4:1 are suggested for highest solar-to-fuel efficiency of 46.1% at nonisothermal condition, where the reduction and oxidation temperature are 1400 and 600 K, respectively.
