Detailed Information/Report on Activities
Niigata University and its Japanese research partner company have develped the reactive redox cataysts for solar thermochemcal water splitting cycle to produce green hydrogen. The German Aerospce Center (DLR) is currently developing a novel solar thermochemical reactor for performing the thermochemical water splitting cycle utilizing concentraed solar radiation as the process heat. Niigata Uniersity and the partner company supply the redox catalysts to DLR, and DLR tests the catalysts for the DLR’s novel solar reactor.
