Development of Synthesis and Fabrication Process for Mn-CeO<sub>2</sub> Foam via Two-Step Water-Splitting Cycle Hydrogen Production

The effects of doping manganese ions into a cerium oxide lattice for a thermochemical two-step water-splitting cycle to produce oxygen and hydrogen and new synthesis methods were experimentally investigated. In order to comparison of oxygen/hydrogen producing performance, pristine CeO<sub>2<...
