Exploring the migration and transformation of lattice oxygen during chemical looping with NiFe2O4 oxygen carrier

Chemical looping (CL) technology using an oxygen carrier (OC) offers a versatile platform to convert various fuels (e.g., CH4, coal, and biomass) to value-added products (e.g., heat, syngas, and H2) in a clean and efficient approach. Currently, the migration and transformation mechanisms of lattice oxygen in spinel OCs were not extensively investigated, which are considered the cornerstone of OC. In this work, the release-uptake paths of lattice...
