Development of direct resistive heating method for SO3 decomposition in the S–I cycle for hydrogen production

The Sulfur–Iodine (S–I) cycle has been considered as one of the efficient and promising thermochemical water-splitting cycles for hydrogen production using nuclear energy. However, the catalytic SO3 decomposition process in the S–I cycle demands high temperature heat (>800 °C). Existing nuclear reactors cannot provide such heat for SO3 decomposition. AECL proposed a direct resistive heating concept to compe
