Abstract
An improved redox material able to be used for thermochemical water splitting, and a method for producing hydrogen using this redox material are provided. The redox material for thermochemical water splitting comprises a redox metal oxide selected from the group comprising perovskite-type composite metal oxides, fluorite-type composite metal oxides and combinations thereof, and a metal oxide carrier. The redox metal oxide is carried on the metal oxide carrier in a dispersed state. The method for producing hydrogen uses the oxidation and reduction of the redox material to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen.
