Fuel Cell & Hydrogen
|
Adsorption and desorption under normal and high pressure. Reversibility. Storage efficiency. Thermal cycling. Thermal stability of materials.
The storage of hydrogen and the development of fuel cells are one of the main issues for the development of renewable energies in the next few years. Different groups of materials (nanotubes, nanofibers, zeolites, gas hydrates, metal hydrides...) are potential vectors for this hydrogen storage and are under investigation. Calorimetric and thermogravimetric techniques are ideal tools for this field of investigations.

Different groups of materials have the potentiality to store and release hydrogen: - carbon : nanotubes and graphite nanofibers - other high surface area materials :
H2O-reactive chemical hydrides: zeolites, gas hydrates, metal oxide frameworks (MOFs)
thermal chemical hydrides
rechargeable hydrides borohydrides, alanates, amides. The R&D issues that can be followed by the calorimetric techniques are to find lower desorption temperatures, higher desorption kinetics, optimisation of the recharge time and pressure, heat management, cyclic life, optimisation of the storage capacity. | X |

Calorimetric and thermogravimetric solutions: Sensys TG-DSC, C80, HP-MicroDSC, MultiHTC |
SETARAM offers different thermogravimetric and calorimetric techniques for the investigation of hydrogen storage and the materials used in fuel cells. Investigations under high pressure of hydrogen are also possible with the DSC and calorimetric techniques.

According to the type of applications, SETARAM can offer different solutions:
- the SENSYS TG-DSC is an ideal solution for the investigation of hydrogen desorption and adsorption under normal pressure in a large range of temperature (up to 820°C) - The Sensys High Pressure DSC is adapted for the investigation of hydrogen adsorption under pressure (up to 500 bar). For larger amounts of sample (up to 0,5ml), the HP-<b >MicroDSC is available especially for the investigation of hydrogen storage in gas hydrates in a limited range of temperature (-45°C to 120°C).
- The Calvet C80 calorimeter allows to investigate the desorption of hydrogen from solid materials with very large amounts of sample (up to 10 ml).
-The MultiHTC is a high temperature calorimeter that is suitable for the investigation of materials or solutions used for the electrolytes, such as molten carbonates and solid oxides used in the fuel cells. | X |
