Reticulated porous structures of La0.8Al0.2NiO3-δ perovskite for enhanced green hydrogen production by thermochemical water splitting

The preparation and optimisation of La0.8Al0.2NiO3-δ (LANi82) perovskite shaped as reticulated porous ceramic (RPC) structures for H2 production by thermochemical water splitting is presented for the first time. The perovskite was first synthesised in powder form following a modified Pechini method....
