The project aims to develop new composites based on ceria for efficient thermochemical conversion of methane and other molecules at high temperature (up to 1500 K). The main goal is to obtain materials that are physically and chemically stable and that maintain high porosity in the long term, that is, that maintain catalytic activity under the operating conditions of the thermochemical redox cycles.
