Compact Electric Energy Storage for Marine Vehicles Using on-Board Hydrogen Production

The use of electric energy in marine vessels has been increasing in recent years. In general, it is motivated by the low ecological impact. However, in the case of underwater vehicles it is functionally essential. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the advantage of electric power generation and storage based on on-board hydrogen generation via the reaction between activated aluminum and water and application of the hydrogen in a fuel cell. The original activation process enabling a spontaneous reaction with water to produce hydrogen as well as a parametric study of hydrogen generation rate and yield are briefly described. The potential increase in specific energy （energy per unit mass） and energy density （energy per unit volume） vs. batteries and other means of hydrogen storage is presented. It is shown that the use of the present technology may result in a substantial increase of specific electric energy along with a reduction in volume or an increase in operating time for the same overall mass of energy storage and generation system.

The Use of Hydrogen as a Fuel for Inland Waterway Units

Escalating apprehension about the harmful effects of widespread use of conventional fossil fuels in the marine field and in internal combustion engines in general, has led to a vast amount of efforts and the directing of large capital investment towards research and development of sustainable alternative energy sources. One of the most promising and abundant of these sources is hydrogen. Firstly, the use of current fossil fuels is. discussed focusing on the emissions and economic sides to emphasize the need for a new, cleaner and renewable fuel with particular reference to hydrogen as a suitable possible alternative. Hydrogen properties, production and storage methods are then reviewed along with its suitability from the economical point of view. Finally, a cost analysis for the use of hydrogen in internal combustion engines is carried out to illustrate the benefits of its use as a replacement for diesel. The outcome of this cost analysis shows that 98% of the capital expenditure is consumed by the equipment, and 68.3% of the total cost of the equipment is spent on the solar photovoltaic cells. The hydrogen plant is classified as a large investment project because of its high initial cost which is about 1 billion US$; but this is justified because hydrogen is produced in a totally green way. When hydrogen is used as a fuel, no harmful emissions are obtained.

2D CoOOH Sheet-Encapsulated Ni2P into Tubular Arrays Realizing 1000 mA cm^-2-Level-Current-Density Hydrogen Evolution Over 100 h in Neutral Water

Water electrolysis at high current density(1000 mA cm-2 level)with excellent durability especially in neutral electrolyte is the pivotal issue for green hydrogen from experiment to industrialization.In addition to the high intrinsic activity determined by the electronic structure,electrocatalysts are also required to be capable of fast mass transfer(electrolyte recharge and bubble overflow)and high mechanical stability.Herein,the 2D CoOOH sheet-encapsulated Ni2P into tubular arrays electrocatalytic system was proposed and realized 1000 mA cm-2-levelcurrent-density hydrogen evolution over 100 h in neutral water.In designed catalysts,2D stack structure as an adaptive material can buffer the shock of electrolyte convection,hydrogen bubble rupture,and evolution through the release of stress,which insure the long cycle stability.Meanwhile,the rich porosity between stacked units contributed the good infiltration of electrolyte and slippage of hydrogen bubbles,guaranteeing electrolyte fast recharge and bubble evolution at the high-current catalysis.Beyond that,the electron structure modulation induced by interfacial charge transfer is also beneficial to enhance the intrinsic activity.Profoundly,the multiscale coordinated regulation will provide a guide to design high-efficiency industrial electrocatalysts.

Low Temperature H_(2) Production from Formic Acid Aqueous Solution Catalyzed on Metal Doped Mo_(2)C

Hydrogen is recognized as a promising energy scours in the close future.Online hydrogen preparation from formic acid under mild reaction conditions causes extensive interests.Mo_(2)C and metal(Fe,Ni,Co,K)doped Mo_(2)C on granular activated carbon(GAC)were prepared and used as heterogeneous catalysts for H2 generation from formic acid on a fixed bed reactor at 100–250°C.The formic acid conversions on doped Mo_(2)C-Me/GAC are clearly improved,especially at lower reaction temperatures.Co doping presents outstanding effect on H2 selectivity and conversion rate compared to Ni and Fe.A 56.3%formic acid conversion was reached on Mo_(2)C-Co/GAC at 100°C,which triples that on Mo_(2)C/GAC at the same temperature.At 150°C,a high formic acid conversion over 90%was reached on Mo_(2)C-Co/GAC.These long lifetime catalysts with no precious metal provide a low cost route to hydrogen production from formic acid.

Modelling and Optimal Design of Hybrid Power System Photovoltaic/Solid Oxide Fuel Cell for a Mediterranean City

This work presents a hybrid power system consisting of photovoltaic and solid oxide fuel cell(PV-SOFC)for electricity production and hydrogen production.The simulation of this hybrid system is adjusted for Bou-Zedjar city in north Algeria.Homer software was used for this simulation to calculate the power output and the total net present cost.The method used depends on the annual average monthly values of clearness index and radiation for which the energy contributions are determined for each component of PV/SOFC hybrid system.The economic study is more important criterion in the proposed hybrid system,and the results show that the cost is very suitable for the use of this hybrid system,which ensures that the area is fed continuously with the sufficient energy for the load which assumed to be 500 kW in the peak season.The optimized results of the present study show that the photovoltaic is capable of generating 8733 kW electricity while the SOFC produces 500 kW electricity.The electrolyzer is capable of producing 238750 kg of hydrogen which is used as fuel in the SOFC to compensate the energy lack in nights and during peak season.

Systematic physicochemical characterization,carbon balance and cost of production analyses of activated carbons derived from(Co)-HTC of coal discards and sewage sludge for hydrogen storage applications

Hydrothermal carbonization(HTC)technologies for producing value-added carbonaceous material(hydrochar)from coal waste and sewage sludge(SS)waste might be a long-term recycling strategy for hydrogen storage applications,cutting disposal costs and solving waste disposal difficulties.In this study,hydrochars(HC)with high carbon content were produced using a combination of optimal HTC(HTC and Co-HTC)and chemical activation of coal tailings(CT),coal slurry(CS),and a mixture of coal discard and sewage sludge(CB).At 850℃and 800℃,respectively,with a KOH/HC ratio of 4:1 and a residence time of 135 min,activated carbons(ACs)with the highest Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface(S_(BET))of 2299.25 m^(2)g^(−1)and 2243.57 m^(2)g^(−1)were obtained.The hydrogen adsorption capability of the produced ACs was further studied using gas adsorption isotherms at 77 K.At 35 bars,the values of hydrogen adsorbed onto AC-HCT(AC obtained from HTC of CT),AC-HCS(AC obtained from HTC of CS),and AC-HCB(AC obtained from HTC of the blending of coal discard(CD)and SS)were approximately 6.12%,6.8%,and 6.57%in weight,respectively.Furthermore,the cost of producing synthetic ACs for hydrogen storage is equivalent to the cost of commercial carbons.Furthermore,the high proportion of carbon retained(>70%)in ACs synthesized by HTC from CD and SS precursors should restrict their potential carbon emissions.

Modeling and Simulation of Hydrogen Energy Storage System for Power-to-gas and Gas-to-power Systems

By collecting and organizing historical data and typical model characteristics,hydrogen energy storage system(HESS)-based power-to-gas(P2G)and gas-to-power systems are developed using Simulink.The energy transfer mechanisms and numerical modeling methods of the proposed systems are studied in detail.The proposed integrated HESS model covers the following system components:alkaline electrolyzer(AE),highpressure hydrogen storage tank with compressor(CM&H_(2) tank),and proton-exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)stack.The unit models in the HESS are established based on typical U-I curves and equivalent circuit models,which are used to analyze the operating characteristics and charging/discharging behaviors of a typical AE,an ideal CM&H_(2) tank,and a PEMFC stack.The validities of these models are simulated and verified in the MicroGrid system,which is equipped with a wind power generation system,a photovoltaic power generation system,and an auxiliary battery energy storage system(BESS)unit.Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink show that electrolyzer stack,fuel cell stack and system integration model can operate in different cases.By testing the simulation results of the HESS under different working conditions,the hydrogen production flow,stack voltage,state of charge(SOC)of the BESS,state of hydrogen pressure(SOHP)of the HESS,and HESS energy flow paths are analyzed.The simulation results are consistent with expectations,showing that the integrated HESS model can effectively absorb wind and photovoltaic power.As the wind and photovoltaic power generations increase,the HESS current increases,thereby increasing the amount of hydrogen production to absorb the surplus power.The results show that the HESS responds faster than the traditional BESS in the microgrid,providing a solid theoretical foundation for later wind-photovoltaic-HESS-BESS integration.

Cu/Mo2C synthesized through Anderson-type polyoxometalates modulate interfacial water structure to achieve hydrogen evolution at high current density

The development of efficient non-precious metal catalysts is important for the large-scale application of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).Here,we synthesized a composite catalyst of Cu and Mo_(2)C(Cu/Mo_(2)C)using Anderson-type polyoxometalates(POMs)synthesized by the facile soaking method as precursors.The electronic interaction between Cu and Mo_(2)C drives the positive charge of Cu,alleviating the strong adsorption of hydrogen at the Mo site by modulating the d-band center of Mo_(2)C.By studying the interfacial water structure using in situ attenuated total reflection surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy(ATR-SEIRAS),we determined that the positively charged Cu crystals have the function of activating water molecules and optimizing the interfacial water structure.The interfacial water of Cu/Mo_(2)C contains a large amount of free water,which could facilitate the transport of reaction intermediates.Due to activated water molecules and optimized interfacial water structure and hydrogen adsorption energy,the overpotential of Cu/Mo_(2)C is 24 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2) and 178 mV at a current density of 1000 mA·cm^(-2).This work improves catalyst performance in terms of interfacial water structure optimization and deepens the understanding of water-mediated catalysis.
