Short technical description
The membrane reactor processes described in section Ic need to be optimized in terms of operational process parameters and material properties. Therefore the reaction mechanisms are being investigated using powdered catalysts in catalytic bed reactors. The reaction kinetics in relation to the materials composition and defect chemistry which in turn are being influenced by doping are among the parameters under investigation.
Indicative Applications (Social Drivers: Energy, Environment)
Materials for fluidized bed redox processes either for the thermochemical hydrogen or for the chemical looping process which produces energy by burning the fuel with pure and cheap oxygen delivered from air through the redox materials.
