Engineering Challenges of Solution and Slurry-Phase Chemical Hydrogen Storage Materials for Automotive Fuel Cell Applications.

摘要: We present the research findings of DOE-funded Hydrogen Storage Engineering Center Excellence (HSECoE) related to liquid-phase and slurry-phase chemical hydrogen storage media their potential as future for automotive applications. Chemical other than neat liquid compositions will prove difficult meet DOE system level targets. Solid- requiring off-board regeneration are impractical highly unlikely be implemented applications because formidable task developing solid- or transport systems that commercially reliable economical throughout entire life cycle fuel. Additionally, cost efficiency is currently single most prohibitive barrier implementing media. Ideally, with net-usable gravimetric capacities greater 7.8 wt% projected 2017 volumetric The presented herein a collection do not in themselves warrant dedicated manuscript. However, results do, fact, highlight engineering challenges short-comings scaling up demonstrating fluid-phase ammonia borane alane all materials researchers working should aware of.
