Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) as H‐Source for Bio‐Derived Fuels and Additives Production

Hydrogen Production from Fossil Fuels

A review of conventional methods of production of hydrogen from fossil fuels is presented. Some advanced and unconventional methods of production of hydrogen based on fossil fuels are also presented. The general characteristics of the feedstocks used to produce hydrogen are first described. This is followed by the chemistry required to generate hydrogen. Then the chemical process operations and...

Hydrogen and Ethanol as Potential Alternative Fuels Compared to Gasoline under Improved Exhaust Gas Recirculation

In the present study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method have been utilized to investigate the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and initial charge pressure by means of using a supercharger on the emissions and performance of a SI engine. This engine is fueled separately by gasoline and two potential alternative fuels, hydrogen and ethanol. The results of simulation are compar...

Thermocatalytic CO2-free Production of Hydrogen from Hydrocarbon Fuels

Approach • Produce hydrogen-rich gas via thermocatalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons utilizing a part of the carbon product as a catalyst for the process • Improve the catalyst activity and process efficiency by continuous activation of carbon particulates in presence of activating agents • Design, fabricate and test 3-kWth thermocatalytic reactor for CO/CO2-free production of hydrogenrich ga...

Carbon supports for the catalytic dehydrogenation of liquid organic hydrides as hydrogen storage and delivery system

Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Production at the Liquid/Liquid interfaces

Molecular electrocatalysis for oxygen reduction at a polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface was studied, involving aqueous protons, ferrocene (Fc) in DCE and cobalt porphyrin catalysts like cobalt porphine (CoP) cobalt 2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethyl-5-p-aminophenylporphyrin (CoAP) at the interface. The reaction is electrocatalytic as its rate depends on the applied Galva...
