Hydrogen production through water splitting at low temperature over Fe3O4 pellet: Effects of electric power, magnetic field, and temperature

This paper aims to propose an innovative breakthrough methodology for hydrogen production through water splitting over Fe3O4 pellet at low temperature (T = 250 °C; 290 °C; 310 °C). In order to achieve this goal, the effects of magnetic field (B = 0 mT; 25.4 mT; 35.1 mT; 48.3 mT) and of electric power (P = 5 W; 12 W; 20 W) on reactive medium performance were investigated. Results show that production of hydrogen was mainly influenced by electric power applied and magnetic field, since the higher the magnetic field and the electric power the higher the production of hydrogen, while the temperature showed a secondary effect; however, feasible production of hydrogen was achieved at a temperature close to 300 °C.
