Efficient hydrogen production through the chemical looping redox cycle of YSZ supported iron oxides

open access: yesGreen Energy & Environment, 2021
The chemical looping process, where an oxygen carrier is reduced and oxidized in a cyclic manner, offers a promising option for hydrogen production through splitting water because of the much higher water splitting efficiency than solar electrocatalytic ...

Enhancing aromatic yield from catalytic pyrolysis of Ca2+-loaded lignin coupled with metal-modified HZSM-5

open access: yesApplications in Energy and Combustion Science, 2022
Catalytic fast pyrolysis of lignin is easy to cause agglomeration and coking, resulting in low-yield aromatic hydrocarbons. Catalytic pyrolysis of modified lignin combined with metal-modified HZSM-5 was proposed to enhance the aromatic yield.
