Strategies on energy loss reduction from high‐temperature steam for stable hydrogen production using solid‐recovered fuel

Stable Hydrogen Production from Ethanol through Steam Reforming Reaction over Nickel-Containing Smectite-Derived Catalyst

Hydrogen production through steam reforming of ethanol was investigated with conventional supported nickel catalysts and a Ni-containing smectite-derived catalyst. The former is initially active, but significant catalyst deactivation occurs during the reaction due to carbon deposition. Side reactions of the decomposition of CO and CH4 are the main reason for the catalyst deactivation, and these...

Hydrogen Production Using Solar Energy

The objective of this project is to create clean fuel for transportation using hydrogen powered by solar energy. Hydrogen has been generated by solar photovoltaic (PV) array and then collected for data analysis to demonstrate efficiency of the hydrogen production in all the steps of the experiment. The hydrogen produced from the electrolysis process was either stored in a metal hydride canister...

Hydrogen Production from Water by Photosynthesis System I for Use as Fuel in Energy Conversion Devices

Production of hydrogen from chemical hydrides via hydrolysis with steam

This is an investigation of a gas/solid chemical reaction between steam and chemical hydrides that liberates pure hydrogen gas. The aim is to obtain fundamental kinetic, chemical, and thermodynamic data on the reaction so that sufficient information is known to evaluate this technology rigorously for its potential as a means of delivering hydrogen for fuel cells and internal combustion engines....

Fuel Production Using Concentrated Solar Energy

Limited reserves of fossil fuels and their negative environmental effects impose significant problems in our energy security and sustainability. Consequently, researchers are looking for renewable energy sources, for instance solar energy, to meet the energy demands of a growing world population. However, terrestrial solar energy is a dilute resource per foot‐ print area and is intermittent sho...
