Deliverables

Report on environmental-friendly materials selection (opens in new window)

Environmental-friendly materials materials solutions roadmaps encompassing extraction and manufacture of the raw materials used to make the different parts of a future scaled-up system and on their recyclability potential and delivering a catalogue of good practices. Comparison of the TCS concept to be developed to alternative ones, to ensure that possible impacts on the environment stemming from all implementation phases will be minimised. Referred to Task 7.1.

Dissemination and exploitation plan (opens in new window)

Report with all exploitation actions that will proceed in parallel and interact with the dissemination activities; both strategies will be examined as a single entity and will be reported within two common deliverables Measures regarding the possibility of patenting the major outcomes and the exploitation (licensing/royalty agreements) of the produced results, monitoring of plans, progress and generation of exploitable results. Referred to Task 8.2.

Thermochemical properties variation with temperature. (opens in new window)

Results of investigations of powders' defect chemistry, structural changes, oxygen uptake/release and lattice expansion as a function of doping and operating temperature under long-term cyclic redox operation. Referred to Task 2.3.

Properties of structured ceramic model specimens as a function of temperature. (opens in new window)

Report with measured properties of developed small-scale specimens of porous foams, 3-D printed specimens and honeycombs to optimize manufacturing conditions for production of structures with optimal heat transfer and thermomechanical stability characteristics. Referred to Tasks 3.1 and 3.2.
