 High-resolution X-ray computed tomography, CT, was used to measure the exact three-dimensional geometry of porous syria applied in solar-driven thermochemical cycles for splitting water and carbon dioxide. This information was then used to determine the morphology in effective heat and mass transport properties of porous syria, including porosity, specific surface area, pore size distribution, extinction coefficient, thermal conductivity, convective heat transfer coefficient, permeability, dupuit-forchheimer coefficient, and tortuosity in residence time distributions. Additionally, tailored foams were designed with adjustable morphologies of transparent spheres in an opaque medium to enhance transport properties. This article was authored by Sophia Haussener, and all those time-filled.
