NEW MATERIAL BASED ON MANGANESE OXIDE WITH GAS GENERATION AND HIGH TEMPERATURE REGENERATION CAPACITY

CSIC has developed a material based on a mixture of metal oxides. This new material is capable of releasing oxygen gas during its reduction through an endothermic process and regenerating in air at high temperature (800-1000 ºC) releasing energy. The material behaves in a stable manner in successive reduction-oxidation cycles and has improved properties with respect to other similar materials available for processes in this type of chemical loops. 
Companies interested in patent licensing are sought for the development and use of materials capable of releasing oxygen gas.
