La-Based Perovskites as Oxygen-Exchange Redox Materials for Solar Syngas Production

Abstract

This contribution reports the synthesis and characterization of La-based perovskites which can be used for the production of syngas via solar thermochemical splitting of H2O/CO2. The La-based perovskites were synthesized using a solution combustion synthesis approach. The derived perovskites were analyzed using powder X-ray diffractometer (PXRD), BET surface area analyzer (BET), and scanning/transmission electron microscope (SEM/TEM). The results associated with the synthesis and characterization of La-based perovskites is reported in detail.
