In-situ analysis of the Al-Fe-Mn-Cu oxide oxygen carrier for chemical looping applications

A novel Al-Fe-Mn-Cu oxide oxygen carrier, termed Gen3, was developed by NETL and prepared using natural ore and pigment grade materials. Gen3 was subjected to 10 cycles of reduction-oxidation (redox) through confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), separately....
