Abstract
Fe 2 O 3 is a prospective for the chemical looping redox cycles but must contain a significant amount of inert supports to ensure high stability. The traditional inert supports (Al 2 O 3 , MgAl 2 O 4 , etc. ) have a dilution effect on Fe 2 O 3 , which results in a compromised reactivity. In this work, we propose several Sr, Mg co-dpoed LaGaO 3-δ to support Fe 2 O 3 for chemical looping water splitting and investigated the synergy for the enhanced performance. Mechanistic study manifests that doping Sr increases the amount of oxygen vacancies, promoting the oxygen release and uptake during the redox reaction. Doping Mg mitigated the interaction between Fe 2 O 3 and the supports, leading to much enhanced stability. Therefore, La x Sr 1-x Mg 1-y Ga y O 3-δ enhances both the reactivity and stability of Fe 2 O 3 for chemical looping water splitting reaction. The observed results can also inspire the selection and development of advanced supports to improve both the reactivity and stability of oxygen carriers.
