	abstract = {Thermochemical cycles consist of a series of chemical reactions to produce hydrogen from water at lower temperatures than by direct thermal decomposition. All the sulfur-based cycles for water splitting employ the sulfuric acid decomposition reaction. This work reports the studies performed on 1wt\% Pt/TiO2 (rutile) catalysts submitted to flowing concentrated sulfuric acid at 1123K and atmospheric pressure for different times on stream between 0 and 548h. Catalyst activity showed an initial decrease that lasted for about 66h, followed by a slight recovery of activity between 66 and 102h TOS, and a period of slower deactivation after 102h TOS. Catalyst sulfation did not seem to be detrimental to catalyst activity. The activity profile suggested that a complex dynamic situation, involving platinum sintering, volatilization, and oxidation, along with TiO2 morphological changes, affected catalyst activity in a non-monotonic way.},
