Hydrogen storage materials for mobile and stationary applications: Current state of the art

Publisher: Wiley

Date: 06-2015

DOI: 10.1002/CSSC.201500231

Abstract: One of the limitations to the widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier is its storage in a safe and compact form. Herein, recent developments in effective high-capacity hydrogen storage materials are reviewed, with a special emphasis on light compounds, including those based on organic porous structures, boron, nitrogen, and aluminum. These elements and their related compounds hold the promise of high, reversible, and practical hydrogen storage capacity for mobile applications, including vehicles and portable power equipment, but also for the large scale and distributed storage of energy for stationary applications. Current understanding of the fundamental principles that govern the interaction of hydrogen with these light compounds is summarized, as well as basic strategies to meet practical targets of hydrogen uptake and release. The limitation of these strategies and current understanding is also discussed and new directions proposed.

The spatial modulation of microfibril angle in the woody tissue of maturing tree stems studied with synchrotron radiation

Publisher: CSIRO Publishing

Date: 2020

DOI: 10.1071/BT18229

Abstract: Spatial variations in the microfibril angle (MFA) of cellulose are mapped on in idual radial sections of wood from the maturing stems of Australian tree species (Acacia floribunda, Acacia suaveolens, Acacia doratoxylon, Acacia havilandiorum, Brachychiton populneus and Bertya cunninghamii) from different rainfall and soil nutrient availabilities using synchrotron wide angle X-ray scattering. For the three species with the smallest radial variation there is a clear linear relationship between the MFA with Young’s modulus and wood density with data published previously for these s les. The other three s les show a large radially symmetric variation in MFA across the radial section either having a continuous change from large MFA in the stem’s centre to small value close to the bark or the reverse, small MFA at the centre to larger values close to the bark. For these s les, a strong linear correlation between the Young’s modulus and density and the MFA is not apparent. We conclude that spatially localised measurements of MFA provide an important insight in the adaptation of wood tissue to environmental conditions.

Metallic and complex hydride-based electrochemical storage of energy

Publisher: IOP Publishing

Date: 27-04-2022

DOI: 10.1088/2516-1083/AC665B

Abstract: The development of efficient storage systems is one of the keys to the success of the energy transition. There are many ways to store energy, but among them, electrochemical storage is particularly valuable because it can store electrons produced by renewable energies with a very good efficiency. However, the solutions currently available on the market remain unsuitable in terms of storage capacity, recharging kinetics, durability, and cost. Technological breakthroughs are therefore expected to meet the growing need for energy storage. Within the framework of the Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Program—H 2 TCP Task-40, IEA’s expert researchers have developed innovative materials based on hydrides (metallic or complex) offering new solutions in the field of solid electrolytes and anodes for alkaline and ionic batteries. This review presents the state of the art of research in this field, from the most fundamental aspects to the applications in battery prototypes.

Publisher: IOP Publishing

Date: 08-06-2022

DOI: 10.1088/2516-1083/AC7190

Abstract: Hydrides based on magnesium and intermetallic compounds provide a viable solution to the challenge of energy storage from renewable sources, thanks to their ability to absorb and desorb hydrogen in a reversible way with a proper tuning of pressure and temperature conditions. Therefore, they are expected to play an important role in the clean energy transition and in the deployment of hydrogen as an efficient energy vector. This review, by experts of Task 40 ‘Energy Storage and Conversion based on Hydrogen’ of the Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Programme of the International Energy Agency, reports on the latest activities of the working group ‘Magnesium- and Intermetallic alloys-based Hydrides for Energy Storage’. The following topics are covered by the review: multiscale modelling of hydrides and hydrogen sorption mechanisms synthesis and processing techniques catalysts for hydrogen sorption in Mg Mg-based nanostructures and new compounds hydrides based on intermetallic TiFe alloys, high entropy alloys, Laves phases, and Pd-containing alloys. Finally, an outlook is presented on current worldwide investments and future research directions for hydrogen-based energy storage.

First-order phase transition in the Li2B12H12 system

Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)

Date: 2013

DOI: 10.1039/C3CP53090F

Abstract: The thermal decomposition of anhydrous Pa3[combining macron] Li2B12H12 was studied in situ by high resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction. A first-order phase transition can be observed at 355 °C where the unit cell volume expands by ca. 8.7%. The expanded β-Li2B12H12 polymorph simultaneously decomposes to a hydrogen poor γ-Li2B12H12-x phase. Expansion of the unit cell across the discontinuity is consistent with reorientational motion of B12H12(2-) anions, and the presence of a frustrated Li(+) lattice indicating Li ion conduction.

Hydrogen storage in complex hydrides: past activities and new trends

Publisher: IOP Publishing

Date: 23-06-2022

DOI: 10.1088/2516-1083/AC7499

Abstract: Intense literature and research efforts have focussed on the exploration of complex hydrides for energy storage applications over the past decades. A focus was dedicated to the determination of their thermodynamic and hydrogen storage properties, due to their high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage capacities, but their application has been limited because of harsh working conditions for reversible hydrogen release and uptake. The present review aims at appraising the recent advances on different complex hydride systems, coming from the proficient collaborative activities in the past years from the research groups led by the experts of the Task 40 ‘Energy Storage and Conversion Based on Hydrogen’ of the Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Programme of the International Energy Agency. An overview of materials design, synthesis, tailoring and modelling approaches, hydrogen release and uptake mechanisms and thermodynamic aspects are reviewed to define new trends and suggest new possible applications for these highly tuneable materials.

Hydride-based thermal energy storage

Publisher: IOP Publishing

Date: 20-06-2022

DOI: 10.1088/2516-1083/AC72EA

Abstract: The potential and research surrounding metal hydride (MH) based thermal energy storage is discussed, focusing on next generation thermo-chemical energy storage (TCES) for concentrated solar power. The site availability model to represent the reaction mechanisms of both the forward and backward MH reaction is presented, where this model is extrapolated to a small pilot scale reactor, detailing how a TCES could function/operate in a real-world setting using a conventional shell & tube reactor approach. Further, the important parameter of effective thermal conductivity is explored using an innovative multi-scale model, to providing extensive and relevant experimental data useful for reactor and system design. Promising high temperature MH material configurations may be tuned by either destabilisation, such as using additions to Ca and Sr based hydrides, or by stabilisation, such as fluorine addition to NaH, MgH 2 , or NaMgH 3 . This versatile thermodynamic tuning is discussed, including the challenges in accurately measuring the material characteristics at elevated temperatures (500 –700 °C). Attention to scale up is explored, including generic design and prototype considerations, and an ex le of a novel pilot-scale pillow-plate reactor currently in development where materials used are discussed, overall tank design scope and system integration.

KOH catalysed preparation of activated carbon aerogels for dye adsorption

Publisher: Elsevier BV

Date: 05-2011

DOI: 10.1016/J.JCIS.2011.01.092

Abstract: Organic carbon aerogels (CAs) were prepared by a sol-gel method from polymerisation of resorcinol, furfural, and hexamethylenetetramine catalysed by KOH at around pH 9 using ambient pressure drying. The effect of KOH in the sol-gel on CA synthesis was studied. It was found that addition of KOH prior to the sol-gel polymerisation process improved thermal stability of the gel, prevented the crystallinity of the gel to graphite, increased the microporosity of CA and promoted activation of CA. The CAs prepared using the KOH catalyst exhibited higher porosity than uncatalysed prepared s les. Activation in CO(2) at higher temperature also enhanced the porosity of CAs. Adsorption tests indicated that the CAs were effective for both basic and acid dye adsorption and the adsorption increased with increasing surface area and pore volume. The kinetic adsorption of dyes was diffusion control and could be described by the second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption of dyes was higher than activated carbon.

Rat liver tissue was removed from a series of female Porton rats which had been fed an iron-rich diet until sacrifice at various ages from 2-24 months. Hepatic iron concentrations ranged from 1 to 65 mg Fe g(-1) dry tissue. TEM studies showed both dispersed and clustered iron-containing nanoparticles. The dispersed particles were found to have mean sizes (+/-standard deviation) of 54 +/- 8 A for the iron-loaded animals and 55 +/- 7 A for the controls. Superposition of particles in TEM images prevented direct measurement of nanoparticulate size in the clusters. The ASAXS data were modelled to provide a quantitative estimate of both the size and spacing of iron oxyhydroxide particles in the bulk s les. The modelling yielded close-packed particles with sizes of 60 to 78 A which when corrected for anomalous scattering suggests sizes from 54 to 70 A. Particle size distributions are of particular importance since they determine the surface iron to core iron ratios, which in turn are expected to be related to the molar toxicity of iron deposits in cells.

Interrogation of the Effect of Polymorphism of a Metal-Organic Framework Host on the Structure of Embedded Pd Guest Nanoparticles

Publisher: Wiley

Date: 20-02-2019

DOI: 10.1002/CPHC.201801037

Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are very promising host materials for nanoscale guest materials. However, some MOFs such as MIL-53 are known to undergo phase transitions which can complicate the guest particle size control. In this study, Pd nanoparticles embedded in Al-MIL-53 were synthesised via (a) electrodeposition and (b) gas-phase reduction. A thorough structural investigation revealed that each synthesis method most likely favoured a different phase of Al-MIL-53, presenting the possibility of MOF phase selection as a technique for size control of embedded nanoparticles. For the first time, we hereby report the use of pair distribution function analysis to successfully investigate the structure and morphology of guest particles embedded in a MOF host.

Thermal Stability of Li₂B₁₂H₁₂ and its Role in the Decomposition of LiBH₄

Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)

Date: 29-04-2013

DOI: 10.1021/JA400131B

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to compare the thermal and structural stability of single phase Li2B12H12 with the decomposition process of LiBH4. We have utilized differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry (DTA/TGA) and temperature programmed desorption-mass spectroscopy (TPD-MS) in combination with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to study the decomposition products of both LiBH4 and Li2B12H12 up to 600 °C, under both vacuum and hydrogen (H2) backpressure. We have synthesized highly pure single phase crystalline anhydrous Li2B12H12 (Pa-3 structure type) and studied its sensitivity to water and the process of deliquescence. Under either vacuum or H2 backpressure, after 250 °C, anhydrous Li2B12H12 begins to decompose to a substoichiometric Li2B12H12-x composition, which displays a very broad diffraction halo in the d-spacing range 5.85-7.00 Å, dependent on the amount of H released. Aging Pa-3 Li2B12H12 under 450 °C/125 bar H2 pressure for 24 h produces a previously unobserved well-crystallized β-Li2B12H12 polymorph, and a nanocrystalline γ-Li2B12H12 polymorph. The isothermal release of hydrogen pressure from LiBH4 along the plateau and above the melting point (Tm = 280 °C) initially results in the formation of LiH and γ-Li2B12H12. The γ-Li2B12H12 polymorph then decomposes to a substoichiometric Li2B12H(12-x) composition. The Pa-3 Li2B12H12 phase is not observed during LiBH4 decomposition. Decomposition of LiBH4 under vacuum to 600 °C produces LiH and amorphous B with some Li dissolved within it. The lack of an obvious B-Li-B or B-H-B bridging band in the FTIR data for Li2B12H(12-x) suggests the H poor B12H(12-x) pseudo-icosahedra remain isolated and are not polymerized. Li2B12H(12-x) is persistent to at least 600 °C under vacuum, with no LiH formation observable and only a ca. d = 7.00 Å halo remaining. By 650 °C, Li2B12H(12-x) is finally decomposed, and amorphous B can be observed, with no LiH reflections. Further studies are required to clarify the structural symmetry of the β- and γ-Li2B12H12 polymorphs and substoichiometric Li2B12H(12-x).

A small angle neutron scattering and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy study of the nanostructure of the iron chalcogenide glass ion-selective electrode

Publisher: Elsevier BV

Date: 10-05-2004

DOI: 10.1016/J.TALANTA.2003.11.025

Abstract: This paper presents a preliminary structural and interfacial study of the iron chalcogenide glass [i.e., Fe(x)(Ge(28)Sb(12)Se(60))(100-x)] ion-selective electrode (ISE) using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). SANS detected variations in the neutron scattering as a function of iron content in the chalcogenide glass. Furthermore, a change in the chalcogenide glass structure was observed at elevated iron dopant levels. Conversely, EIS was used to show that the iron chalcogenide membrane comprises various time constants, and the interfacial charge transfer reaction depends on the membrane iron content. Equivalent circuit modeling revealed that the charge transfer resistance decreases at elevated iron levels, and this may be related to the presence of iron defects in the glass. It is proposed that the iron chalcogenide membrane comprises an iron nanostructural network embedded in the amorphous matrix, and this directly influences the electrical conductivity and concomitant electrochemical reactivity of the glass.

Wormlike Micelles from a Cage Amine Metallosurfactant

Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)

Date: 19-10-2007

DOI: 10.1021/LA701283B

Abstract: We have shown that copper and cobalt metallosurfactants derived from Cu(II) and Co(III) complexes of a macrobicyclic hexamine ("cage") can form wormlike micelles in aqueous solution that may coexist with or easily interconvert with vesicle structures. The cylindrical micelle structures are unusual for triple-chain surfactants with a single headgroup and are not easily accounted for using geometrical packing arguments. The solution behavior has been characterized by cryo-TEM and SAXS measurements. Both the Cu and Co compounds display viscoelastic solutions at 1 wt %, indicating that such behavior may be anticipated for the full variety of stable metal complexes formed by the cage headgroup, auguring applications based on the incorporation of metallo aggregates into mesoporous silica structures.
