Abstract: The thermochemical water splitting process using the copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle is an innovative method for generating hydrogen gas. This process involves a thermolysis reaction where molten salt, a solid reactant, and gaseous oxygen interact to produce oxygen gas. The primary aim of this work is to contribute to the development and enhancement of the thermochemical Cu-Cl cycle for hydrogen production. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive review of the multiphase oxygen generation reactor, which is a crucial component of the Cu-Cl cycle, is conducted. The review covers various aspects of the oxygen reactor, including; type and description of the Oxygen reactor, material features, variables affecting reactor’s size, and scale-up evaluations. This work aims to provide a thorough understanding of the oxygen reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle, highlighting its significance in the thermochemical production of hydrogen and the key considerations for its optimization and scale-up.
