Thermochemical cycles received renewed interest as CO2 and H2O energy-upgrading processes using solar energy as source. The two-step cycles, based on self-reduction in a solar reactor at high temperature (above 1300–1400 °C) and re-oxidation by CO2 and/or H2O flow, are the most interesting due to th...
