The iron oxide cycle (Fe3O4/FeO) is a thermochemical process proposed for use for hydrogen production[1].

Process description
The thermochemical two-step water splitting process uses redox systems. The two iron oxide cycles under research[2] are:
- Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 + yH2O→Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4+y + yH2
- Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4+y→Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 + y/2O2
The temperature level is realized by using a solar power tower and a set of heliostats to collect the solar thermal energy.
