Method of production of pure hydrogen near room temperature from aluminum-based hydride materials

چکیده
The present invention provides a cost-effective method of producing pure hydrogen gas from hydride-based solid materials. The hydride-based solid material is mechanically processed in the presence of a catalyst to obtain pure gaseous hydrogen. Unlike previous methods, hydrogen may be obtained from the solid material without heating, and without the addition of a solvent during processing. The described method of hydrogen production is useful for energy conversion and production technologies that consume pure gaseous hydrogen as a fuel.

Hydrogen Desorption Properties of Nanocrystalline MgH2-10 wt.% ZrB2 Composite Prepared by Mechanical Alloying
Storage of hydrogen is one of the key challenges in developing hydrogen economy. Magnesium hydride (MgH2) is an attractive candidate for solid-state hydrogen storage for on-board applications. In this study, 10 wt.% ZrB2 was co-milled with magnesium hydride at different milling times to produce nanocrystalline composite powder. The effect of milling time and additive on the hydrogen desorption...

There are extensive efforts underway worldwide to develop inexpensive and practical hydrogen storage materials for the implementation of a hydrogen-based energy economy. Perhaps the most promising candidates are light metal hydrides and their complexes. Amongst these, the binary hydride of aluminium, alane (AlH3)x, is increasingly recognised as a leading candidate, satisfying most of the requir...

Several solid state NMR techniques including magic-angle-spinning (MAS) and multiple-quantum (MQ) MAS experiments have been used to characterize various AlH3 samples. MAS-NMR spectra for the H and Al nuclei have been obtained on a variety of AlH3 samples that include the βand γ-phases as well as the most stable α-phase. While the dominant components in these NMR spectra correspond to the alumin...

The safe and efficient storage of hydrogen is still one of the remaining challenges towards fuel cell powered cars. Metal hydrides are a promising class of materials as they allow the storage of large amounts of hydrogen in a small volume at room temperature and low pressures. However, usually the kinetics of hydrogen release and uptake and the thermodynamic properties do not satisfy the requir...
متن کاملOn the Reversibility of Hydrogen Storage in Novel Complex Hydrides
A comparison of the hydrogen release and uptake (cycling) capability of Ti-doped NaAlH4, LiAlH4 and Mg(AlH4)2 as a function of Ti dopant concentration, temperature, pressure, and cycle number is reported. Temperature programmed desorption revealed hydrogen release capacities of around 3 wt% at 140 C, 3 wt % at 100 C and 6 wt% at 150 C, respectively for the Ti doped Na, Li and Mg alanates. In th...
