Three interwoven story lines that are important to making this a viable technology
1. Materials:Define the potential for high performance
2. Solar Receivers & Reactors: Define and constrain the operating space
3. Systems: Define scale, economics, and the lifecycle
Materials, Reactors, and Systems Challenges to operationalize the cycle

• Mixed Ionic‐Electronic Conducting (MIEC) Perovskites or Fluorite oxides• Several properties of significance:
– High temperature stability and phase “stable”– Redox‐active (like charging a battery)– ABO3‐x ↔ ABO3‐x‐δ + δ/2 O2(g)
Fascinating class of materials
No major crystallographic phase change occurs during redox
Vacancies facilitate oxygen ion transport
Redox activity is continuous over a range of T and pO2
SOA is Ceria CeO2
Vacancy on anion latticeOxygen anion
A cationB cation
O2‐ ion can “hop” via vacancies
Like SrTiO3 – not redox active. SrMnO3

Based on 12.5% end‐to‐end sunlight to fuel efficiency• Solar field learning: CSP industry• Fuel processing learning: Distributed GtL, BtL• Financing innovations for access to low cost of
money• Solar/Chemical interface: Learning from solar
reforming and gasification, resolving storage issues

Co‐production of H2 and electricity
• Electricity production can provide revenue and reduce cost of H2
• Ratio of hydrogen production and electricity varies with DNI
• Can also make clean water beyond what’s consumed

CAPEX dominates the cost
• Biggest cost reduction opportunity per tower is the solar field• Next biggest opportunity comes from productivity increase
Reasonably high fidelity of CAPEX estimationInitial cost estimate $9.86/kg‐H2Realistic cost reductions
Increased H2 per tower, decreased electricity production, and reduced revenue per electrical unitUltimate estimate $2.11/kg‐H2
