Uranium thermochemical cycle: hydrogen production demonstration
In hydrogen production industry, thermochemical cycle technology for converting thermal energy into chemical storage energy of hydrogen owns absolute advantages. Compared with other thermochemical cycles, thermochemical cycle technology based on uranium (UTC) is safer and more efficient. This technology consists of three steps, where only the hydrogen production step is unique. In this paper, the verification has been done for this step. Solid products were characterized by XRD and Raman spectroscopy, which were confirmed to be -Na2U2O7. Gas chromatographic analyses were performed for gas samples, in which hydrogen output was obtained using an internal standard method.
