Exploitation of thermochemical cycles based on solid oxide redox systems for thermochemical storage of solar heat. Part 3: Cobalt oxide monolithic porous structures as integrated thermochemical reactors/heat exchangers

摘要

In the perspective of thermochemical storage of solar energy via redox reactions of multivalent metal oxides, the manufacture and relevant testing of porous ceramic foams made entirely of Co3O4 was attempted, in order to maximize the amount of redox powder that can be incorporated in a given thermochemical reactor volume.
