The key component of the splitting process is a high - temperature solar reactor containing a reticulated porous ceramic (RPC) structure made
of ceria (CeO2) which facilitates molecule splitting.
The first observation of hydrides both on the surface and in the bulk
of ceria was important because it established that the bulk of the material also can participate in chemical reactions.

In a study published by the Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, scientists have described how they created an advanced nickel - based catalyst strengthened with tin and
ceria, and used it to transform CO2 and CH4 into a synthesis gas that can be used to produce fuels and a range
of valuable chemicals.

«It is remarkable that simply combining the
ceria with a platinum catalyst was sufficient to allow trapping
of the atoms and retaining the performance
of the catalyst.
In this study, we demonstrate how atomically dispersed ionic platinum (Pt2 +) on
ceria (CeO2), which is already thermally stable, can be activated via steam treatment (at 750 °C) to simultaneously achieve the goals
of low - temperature carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation activity while providing outstanding hydrothermal stability.
It consists
of a cavity - receiver containing a porous monolithic
ceria cylinder.
Their two - step solar thermochemical conversion with
ceria shows a long - term efficiency potential
of beyond 30 percent.
