Abstract
We report the discovery of a new class of oxides - poly-cation oxides (PCOs) - that consist of multiple cations and can thermochemically split water in a two-step cycle to produce hydrogen (H-2) and oxygen (O-2). Specifically, we demonstrate H-2 yields of 10.1 +/- 0.5 mL-H-2 per g and 1.4 +/- 0.5 mL-H-2 per g from (FeMgCoNi)O-x (x approximate to 1.2) with thermal reduction temperatures of 1300 degrees C and 1100 degrees C, respectively, and also with background H-2 during the water splitting step. Remarkably, these capacities are mostly higher than those from measurements and thermodynamic analysis of state-of-the-art materials such as (substituted) ceria and spinel ferrites. Such high-performance two-step cycles 1100 degrees C are practically relevant for today's chemical infrastructure at large scale, which relies almost exclusively on thermochemical transformations in this temperature regime. It is likely that PCOs with complex cation compositions will offer new opportunities for both fundamental investigations of redox thermochemistry as well as scalable H-2 production using infrastructure-compatible chemical systems.
