AbstractAt the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), a research program is underway for developing a high-density hydrogen storage system based on amine-borane (AB) complexes. Due to their high hydrogen capacity, these hydrides have been employed, in the past, as disposable hydrogen sources for fuel cell applications. However, to meet the requirements for hydrogen storage onboard vehicles, it is essential that cost effective and energy efficient methods for the regeneration (i.e. hydrogenation) of the spent (dehydrogenated) AB complexes can be found that utilize only hydrogen and/or electricity (i.e. the only plausible hydrogen economy energy carriers).We are studying two ammoniaborane (NH3BH3)-based systems with high hydrogen storage capacity. The first system employs a borazine-cyclotriborazane cycle. Borazine is a product of NH3BH3 thermolysis. Cyclotriborazane is the inorganic analog of cyclohexane. The second system employs polymeric AB complexes such as poly-(aminoborane) and polyborazylene. Poly-(aminoborane), an inorganic analog of polyethylene, is also a product of amoniaborane thermolysis whilepolyborazylene is the product of borazine thermolysis.For the two systems above, we are developing regeneration (i.e. reduction of borazine, poly-(aminoborane) and polyborazylene) schemes based on: 1) catalytic hydrogenation and 2) indirect (multi-step) synthesis techniques.

AbstractSafe, lightweight, and cost-effective materials are required to practically store hydrogen for use in portable fuel cell applications. Compressed hydrogen and on-board hydrocarbon reforming present certain advantages, but their limitations must ultimately render them insufficient. Storage in hydrides and adsorption systems show promise in models and experimentation, but a practical medium remains unavailable. To study hydrogen storage properties a new volumetric testing apparatus was designed and constructed. Adsorption conditions are evaluated up to pressures exceeding 250 bar and a broad range of temperatures. RF sputtering was used to introduce metals to carbon nanotubes with the aim to enhance hydrogen storage. Here we show a significant improvement in the gravimetric storage density over that of as-prepared single-wall nanotube samples that may be due to the unique interface introduced.

Mg-Li-Al alloy was prepared by ingot casting and then underwent subsequent reactive ball milling. A Mg-Li-Al-H complex hydride was obtained under a 0.4 MPa hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and as high as 10.7 wt% hydrogen storage capacity was achieved, with the peak desorption temperature of the initial step at approximately 65 °C. The evolution of the reaction during milling, as well as the effect of Li/Al ratio in the raw materials on the desorption properties of the hydrides formed, were studied by x-ray diffraction and simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. The results showed that mechanical milling increases the solubility of Li in Mg, leading to the transformation of bcc β(Li) solid solution to hcp α(Mg) solid solution, the latter continues to incorporate Li and Al, which stimulates the formation of Mg-Li-Al-H hydride. A lower Li/Al ratio resulted in faster hydrogen desorption rate and a greater amount of hydrogen released at a low temperature range, but sacrificing total hydrogen storage capacity.
