Abstract

Silver ion exchanged zeolites are sensitive to visible light similar to silver oxide. They release oxygen from adsorbed water while irradiated, and form molecularly dispersed silver. This is capable of thermal reduction of zeolite water to hydrogen (> 600 °C) under oxidation to Ag+. The process is promising but not yet pratical for photochemical solar energy storage. Research topics for improvements are identified.
