abstract = {Solar thermal water splitting using oxygen transport
membranes enables sustainable hydrogen production and can
thus play a key role in the emerging hydrogen economy.
Membrane reactors potentially reduce temperature required by
shifting the concentration equilibrium, thereby increasing
the efficiency of thermal water splitting. This work
presents a scaled-up proof-of-concept (PoC) module design
for solar thermal water splitting applications utilizing
oxygen transport membranes in relevant environments. The PoC
module is based on a flexible and scalable stack design with
parallel-oriented, membrane-containing layers, which
supports the scalability of the concept. Solar heat
integration is optimized for direct irradiation by a High
Flux Solar Simulator. Key outcomes include focal point
adjustments and design modifications using an irradiated
copper plate to mitigate hot spots. The PoC module's
material concept prevents thermal stresses and ensures
gas-tight sealing of the membranes at an operating
temperature of 850 °C under reducing and corrosive
atmospheres. Optimal flow rates for steam
(30–213 mmol min−1) and methane
(8–54 mmol min−1) are calculated for the PoC module,
resulting in efficient hydrogen (7–51 mmol min−1)
and syngas (22–156 mmol min−1) production, using a
membrane area of 167 cm2, with H2O and CH4 conversion
rates of $25\%$ and $95\%,$ respectively.},
