The sulfur-iodine cycle, or S-I cycle, is a three-step thermochemical cycle used to produce hydrogen. It consists of three chemical reactions whose net reactant is water and whose net products are hydrogen and oxygen, with every other chemical involved in those reactions recycled back into the process rather than consumed. The S-I process requires an efficient source of heat to drive its reactions.
