The invention belongs to the technical field of
solar hydrogen production, and particularly relates to a solar
thermochemical cycle hydrogen production reactor which comprises a gas steam
pipe and a
water splitting reactor, a catalyst in the
water splitting reactor is subjected to an oxidation reaction under the high-temperature condition to generate
hydrogen, and the
hydrogen is separated from the gas steam
pipe. A reacted catalyst in the water
cracking reactor flows into the catalyst regenerator through a spent inclined
pipe and is subjected to a reduction reaction under a high-temperature condition to generate
oxygen and a regenerated catalyst, fluidizing steam is introduced into the water
cracking reactor and the catalyst regenerator, the fluidizing steam carries the catalyst to carry out a
chemical reaction, and the regenerated catalyst is generated. Therefore, efficient
solar hydrogen production is realized. In the catalyst regenerator,
solar energy is utilized to focus high temperature, the catalyst is reduced to generate
oxygen, the catalyst obtains activity again, the next round of
hydrogen production reaction is circularly carried out, and a
fluidized bed technology is adopted, so that the problem of
sintering of high-temperature catalyst particles is avoided.
