Слайд 2

Conventional and nonconventional hydrogen storages. Storage in high-pressure tanks – up

Conventional and nonconventional hydrogen storages.

Storage in high-pressure tanks – up to

700 atmospheres.
Disadvantages – spontaneous leak of hydrogen and high risk of depressurization.
Storage in liquid state– (-252°С).
Disadvantages – thigh cost of equipment for hydrogen storage and cooling, evaporation and high risk of depressurization.

Hydrogen storage in solid state.
Requirements.
Gravimetric capacitance- > 6 weight % H2, Hydrogen pressure at its saturation - < 3 МPа,
Hydrogenation time - < 5 minutes, Temperature of hydrogen desorption - < 85°С

Porous

1. Carbon nanostructures
Nanotubes (single-layer, multilayer),
nanofibers, fullerene, graphene,
activated carbon.
2. Metal - organic structures

Mg - based hydrides
MgH2 – (Ti, V, Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn),
MgH2 – (V2O5, Nb2O5, Fe2O3, Al2O3, TiO2)
Complex hydrides

So far none of the solid-state hydrogen accumulators satisfy
the necessary requirements.

Gravimetric capacity of nanoporous structures is determined not only by porosity, but also
by average pore size.
Relatively large pores (>8-10 nm) do not retain
hydrogen at room temperature and
atmospheric pressure.
The main part of hydrogen is accumulated
within nano grains.

Hydrogen desorption by TiN, VN and VN+Ni films

The hydrogen desorption starts

at 50°С.
The maximum speed of hydrogen release is observed at 250°С.
2. The application of protective nickel layer of 10 nm
thick lowers the temperature of maximum
hydrogen release by 50°С and increases its total
absorbed amount by 10%.
