Abstract

Green syngas production is a sustainable energy-development goal. Thermochemical H2O/CO2splitting is a very promising sustainable technology allowing the production of H2and CO with only oxygen as the by-product. CeO2-ZrO2systems are well known thermochemical splitting catalysts, since they combine stability at high temperature with rapid kinetics and redox cyclability. However, redox performances of these materials must be improved to allow their use in large scale plants. K-doped systems show good redox properties and repeatable performances. In this work, we studied the effect of potassium content on the performances of ceria-zirconia for CO2splitting. A kinetic model was developed to get insight into the nature of the catalytic sites. Fitting results confirmed the hypothesis about the existence of two types of redox sites in the investigated catalytic systems and their role at different K contents. Moreover, the model was used to predict the influence of key parameters, such as the process conditions.
