Abstract

The thermal behavior of $NiFe_2O_4$ prepared by a solid-state reaction was investigated for $H_2$ generation by the thermochemical cycle. The reduction of $NiFe_2O_4$ started from $800^{\circ}C$, and the weight loss was 0.2-0.3 wt% up to $1000^{\circ}C$. In the $H_2O$ decomposition reaction, $H_2$ was generated by oxidation of reduced $NiFe_2O_4$. The crystal structure of $NiFe_2O_4$ maintained during the redox reaction of 5 cycles. From this observation, the lattice oxygen in $NiFe_2O_4$ is released without the structural change during the thermal reduction and oxygen deficient $NiFe_2O_4$ can be restored to the spinel structure of $NiFe_2O_4$.
