Hydrogen production from water utilizing solar heat at high temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the feasibility of producing hydrogen and oxygen from water utilizing solar heat at high temperatures using a conceptual model and showed that the thermodynamic requirements for the direct thermal decomposer are difficult to realize from the structural viewpoint and that existing separation methods are not applicable for such a decomposition process if it is to attain sufficiently high thermal efficiencies.
