Abstract
Ferrites have the ability to exchange oxygen with the environment, depending on the partial pressure of oxygen and have been therefore considered as candidates for RedOx materials in both the Chemical Looping Combustion and the Thermochemical Water Decomposition Processes. In this article the feasibility of MnZn- and NiZn-ferrites as RedOx materials has been evaluated in the above processes. The Oxygen Transfer Capability, the methane decomposition activity as well as the catalytic activity towards H2 production by water splitting have been studied at temperatures 1173–1273 K.
