...Aniket S. Patankar; Xiao-Yu Wu; Wonjae Choi; Harry L. Tuller; Ahmed F. Ghoniem Thermochemical redox cycles are a promising route to producing solar fuels. In this work, a novel reactor train system (RTS) is proposed for the efficient conversion of solar thermal energy into hydrogen. This system...
