The zinc–zinc oxide cycle or Zn–ZnO cycle is a two step thermochemical cycle based on zinc and zinc oxide[1] for hydrogen production[2] with a typical efficiency around 40%.[3]

Process description

The thermochemical two-step water splitting process uses redox systems:[4]

  • Dissociation: ZnO → Zn + 1/2 O2
  • Hydrolysis: Zn + H2O → ZnO + H2

For the first endothermic step concentrating solar power is used in which zinc oxide is thermally dissociated at {{convert|1900|°C|°F}} into zinc and oxygen. In the second non-solar exothermic step zinc reacts at {{convert|427|°C|°F}} with water and produces hydrogen and zinc oxide. The temperature level is realized by using a solar power tower and a set of heliostats to collect the solar thermal energy.
