TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the exploitation of solar energy for the dissociation of water and production of hydrogen via an integrated thermo-chemical reactor/receiver system using multi-channelled honeycomb ceramic supports coated with active redox reagent powders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the porosity of monolithic multi-channeled silicon carbide (SiC) honeycombs employed as open volumetric receivers of concentrated solar radiation was evaluated with respect to their porous structure and thermomechanical properties before and after long-time operation.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermochemical solar receiver-reactor has been developed and installed in the solar furnace in Cologne, Germany, and it was proven that solar hydrogen production is feasible by this process demonstrating that multi cycling of the process was possible in principle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the realisation and successful test operation of a 100kW pilot plant for two-step solar thermo-chemical water splitting on a solar tower at the Plataforma Solar de Almeria, which aims at the demonstration of the feasibility of the process on the solar tower platform under real conditions.
