Book Hydrogen Storage Properties of Magnesium Base Nanostructured Composite Materials

Download or read book Hydrogen Storage Properties of Magnesium Base Nanostructured Composite Materials written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, nanostructured composite materials have been synthesized using the mechanical alloying process. The new materials produced have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transition electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron energy dispersion spectrum (EDS) for their phase compositions, crystal structure, grain size, particle morphology and the distribution of catalyst element. Hydrogen storage capacities and the hydriding-dehydriding kinetics of the new materials have been measured at different temperatures using a Sieverts apparatus. It is observed that mechanical alloying accelerates the hydrogenation kinetics of the magnesium based materials at low temperature, but a high temperature must be provided to release the absorbed hydrogen from the hydrided magnesium based materials. It is believed that the dehydriding temperature is largely controlled by the thermodynamic configuration of magnesium hydride. Doping Mg-Ni nano/amorphous composite materials with lanthanum reduces the hydriding and dehydriding temperature. Although the stability of MgH2 can not be easily reduced by ball milling alone, the results suggest the thermodynamic properties of Mg-Ni nano/amorphous composite materials can be alternated by additives such as La or other effective elements. Further investigation toward understanding the mechanism of additives will be rewarded.

Book Kinetic Investigation of Metalcatalyzed Hydriding

Download or read book Kinetic Investigation of Metalcatalyzed Hydriding written by Efrat Ruse and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrogen has the capacity to provide green electric energy, supplied by the conversion of an electrochemical reaction (hydrogen and oxygen) in fuel cells. Due to hydrogen's flammability, its safe storage is essential. Solid-state storage in metal hydrides is indeed safe but fails to comply with the kinetic requirements for hydrogen storage and release, dictated by the U.S. Department of Energy for mobile applications. Composite materials, consisting of a metallic hydrogen acceptor matrix and nanocarbon additives (e.g., carbon nanotubes or graphene nanoplatelets) accelerate the kinetic hurdles. Carbonaceous nanomaterials possess unique structural and chemical properties: high surface area, low density and inertness to hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure (STP). These properties, as well as their recent decrease in price, make them ideal for use in mobile power devices. In this thesis, I suggest manipulating the hydrogen diffusion rate to the metallic acceptor (hydriding) and from it (dehydriding) by engineering the structural properties of the nanocarbon additives. I focus on the effect of nanocarbon structure on hydrogen storage kinetics in magnesium, which possesses a high hydrogen capacity (7.7 wt%). The first chapter of this thesis presents a correlation between nanocarbon dimensionality, namely 1D carbon nanotubes (CNT), 2D graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and 3D activated carbon, on hydrogen storage kinetics in magnesium. Specifically, I explore the effects of nanocarbon defect density, size and surface area on the hydrogen diffusion rate to and from the magnesium matrix. Integrating the hydriding and dehydriding kinetics into a single rate variable yields an optimum kinetics for CNT additives (high aspect ratio), compared to other previously reported studies. These results suggest that the nanocarbon structure has a key role in the kinetic enhancement. Therefore, in the second part of this thesis, I designed the production of GNP (as a case study) to manipulate their structural properties for hydrogen storage applications. Here, I studied the mechanism of GNP integration in the magnesium matrix and demonstrated the critical effect of their size on accelerating the kinetic performances. The coherent structure-function correlation obtained could open a new avenue in the design of composite materials for hydrogen storage devices. - abstract.

Book Hydrogen Technology

Download or read book Hydrogen Technology written by Aline Léon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-18 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aline Leon ́ In the last years, public attention was increasingly shifted by the media and world governmentsto the conceptsof saving energy,reducingpollution,protectingthe - vironment, and developing long-term energy supply solutions. In parallel, research funding relating to alternative fuels and energy carriers is increasing on both - tional and international levels. Why has future energy supply become such a matter of concern? The reasons are the problems created by the world’s current energy supply s- tem which is mainly based on fossil fuels. In fact, the energystored in hydrocarb- based solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels was, is, and will be widely consumed for internal combustion engine-based transportation, for electricity and heat generation in residential and industrial sectors, and for the production of fertilizers in agric- ture, as it is convenient, abundant, and cheap. However, such a widespread use of fossil fuels by a constantly growing world population (from 2. 3 billion in 1939 to 6. 5 billion in 2006) gives rise to the two problems of oil supply and environmental degradation. The problemrelated to oil supply is caused by the fact that fossil fuels are not - newable primary energy sources: This means that since the rst barrel of petroleum has been pumped out from the ground, we have been exhausting a heritage given by nature.

Book Mechano chemical synthesis and characterisation of complex hydrides for solid state hydrogen storage

Download or read book Mechano chemical synthesis and characterisation of complex hydrides for solid state hydrogen storage written by Carine Rongeat and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrogen storage technologies are gaining interest for the development of new sustainable energy carriers instead of fossil fuel and for reducing the release of greenhouse gases. Solid state hydrogen storage in hydrides offers a good alternative for an efficient storage. In particular for mobile applications, a high gravimetric and volumetric storage capacity is necessary. These requirements have triggered a lot of interest for complex hydrides (metal alanates M(AlH4)x or borohydrides M(BH4)x). Here, reactive ball milling under hydrogen pressure has been developed for the synthesis of complex hydrides from their decomposition products. Two different kind of complex hydrides were selected: NaAlH4 as a model system and Ca(BH4)2 for its high hydrogen capacity. Sodium alanate NaAlH4 can store practically ca. 4wt% of hydrogen in the 100-150°C temperature range but this can be achieved only when adding a dopant to NaAlH4. In this work, different metal and metal chloride dopants for NaAlH4 are studied. The comparison of these dopants is used to better understand the catalytic and reaction mechanisms. Nevertheless, despite its good reversibility, NaAlH4 cannot be considered for mobile application because of its limited hydrogen capacity. Therefore, metal borohydrides have been considered more recently due to their high gravimetric and volumetric stored hydrogen densities. Among them, Ca(BH4)2 (11.5wt% H2) is interesting because of the predicted suitable thermodynamic properties. A new synthesis route has been investigated, using reactive ball milling of CaH2 and CaB6 under high hydrogen pressure (max 150 bar). The reversible decomposition/formation of Ca(BH4)2 was observed (60% yield) during cycling and was obtained using TiF3 as additive but cannot be achieved with TiCl3 as additive. The understanding of the difference observed when using these two additives is of crucial importance to further improve the kinetics of H2 sorption and the use of Ca(BH4)2 for hydrogen storage.

Book Tailoring the Kinetic Behavior of Hydride Forming Materials for Hydrogen Storage

Download or read book Tailoring the Kinetic Behavior of Hydride Forming Materials for Hydrogen Storage written by Juli√°n Puszkiel and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydride forming materials, i.e., binary, complex hydrides, and their mixtures, have been extensively investigated owing to their potential hydrogen storage properties. They possess high volumetric hydrogen capacity and relative high gravimetric hydrogen capacity. However, one of the main constraints for their practical application is their slow kinetic behavior. For this reason, enormous effort has been devoted to improve the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation rates. Several strategies have been developed for the enhancement of the kinetic behavior of the most relevant hydride forming materials such as MgH2, MBH4 (M¬†=¬†Li, Ca, Mg, Na, K), MNH2 (M¬†=¬†Li and Mg), MBH4¬†+¬†,ÄòMH2 (M¬†=¬†Li, Ca, Mg; ,ÄòM¬†=¬†Li, Mg, Ca), and MNH2¬†+¬†,ÄòMH2 (M¬†=¬†Li, Mg; ,ÄòM¬†=¬†Li). Tuning the kinetic behavior of these hydride forming materials involves different approaches and their combinations. The most relevant approaches are: (1) improving the microstructural refinement via mechanical milling, (2) doping with transition metal and transition metal compounds, (3) forming in situ catalyst, and (4) nanoconfining doped hydride forming materials. Herein, basic concepts about the chemical reaction for the hydride compound formation/decomposition, thermodynamics, kinetics, and applied strategies to enhance the kinetic behavior of hydride compounds and systems are comprehensively described and discussed.
