While the main barrier for the development of hydrogen adsorption type storage systems remains the material development, an improved thermal management may offer solutions to minimize the penalties in the amount of stored gas during fast-filling and the residual amount of hydrogen during discharging operations. The emphasis of this work was to experimentally investigate the dynamical thermal behavior of a hydrogen cryoadsorption storage system during fast-filling operations. The experiments were conducted with granulated activated carbon and MOF adsorbents. The influence of the charge pressure and the gas flow rate on the temperature elevations and the amount of filled hydrogen gas was analyzed. The heat generated in the storage vessel originates from the released heat of adsorption, gas compression work and thermal energy transfer that takes place when high pressure gas at the ambient temperature is introduced to the tank. A typical average temperature increase observed during the charging of the test tank, filled with the activated carbon (NORIT R0.8 extra), to 2 MPa was about 21 K. Such temperature elevation leads to a significant decrease in adsorption storage capacity.

This paper presents a thermoelectric gas microsensor with improved stability where platinum nanoparticles linked by bifunctional ligands are used as a catalyst. The sensor design provides a homogeneous temperature field over the membrane, an important factor for the long-term stability of the catalyst. A comprehensive study of heat transfer from the chip is performed to evaluate the convection heat loss coefficient and to understand its effect on the homogeneity of the temperature field in a real-time situation. The effect of highly heat-conductive thermopiles is also analyzed by comparing the temperature distribution and power consumption with a thermoresistive sensor of the same dimensions and materials. Despite the thermopiles, the thermoelectric sensor gives better temperature homogeneity and consumes 23% less power than the thermoresistive sensor for 90 °C average temperature on the membrane. A comparative stability analysis among ligand-linked nanoparticles with 5 different ligands and unprotected nanoparticles was done through 3 consecutive 24 h tests under 1.5% continuous hydrogen gas flow. The sensors give very stable output, almost no degradation, through 72 h (3 × 24 h) tests for 3 different ligand-linked nanoparticles. The sensor design provides superb stability to the catalyst: Even catalysts of unprotected nanoparticles withstood more than 24 h and the sensor signal degradation is only 20%.

Hydrogen energy has great potential to become one of the clean energies of the future. The current use of hydrogen gas as an energy source still has problems, namely in the distribution and storage system. One solution to overcome these problems is to use the adsorption method. Zeolite material is considered to be a good material to be used as a storage medium for hydrogen gas. Experimental research generally still requires a fairly high cost. Therefore, we need another method that can support it. In this research, the author used the Molecular Dynamics Simulation method. The variation of temperature used in this simulation is 77, 100, 150, 195, 273, and 293 K with a variation of pressure at each temperature is 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 bar. Our simulation results are then compared with the results of experimental research conducted by other researchers. At low pressure and high temperature, the results of our simulation are close to the results of experimental research. But at high pressure and low temperature, the results of our simulation are significantly different from the results of experimental research.

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and subsequent Carbon Nanomaterials (CNMs), there has been an ever increased academic and industrial interest on there various fields of application due to their exceptional mechanical and electrical properties. In this work, granular activated carbon (GAC) made from palm Kernel shell (PKS) of mesh size 8x12 was impregnated with nickel as substrate catalyst for the growth of Carbon Nanomaterials (CNMs) in a chemical decomposition (CVD) reactor. Various percentages by weight of the nickel (1%, 3%, 5% and 7%) were impregnated on the GAC surface for CNM growth. The CNM growth took place at a fixed reaction temperature and gas flow rates for both the hydrogen gas and carbon source. Characterization of the novel composite material was carried out by using SEM, FESEM and TEM. The results show that growth was successful as at 1% nickel impregnation, while a denser network distribution and rougher surface of CNM was observed at 7% nickel. The growth of CNMs on a larger substrate GAC should make handling of the CNMs easier and it is expected to also open new doors of application in water treatment and oil refining.

Gas storage is a technology developed with an adsorptive storage method, in which gases are stored as adsorbed components on the certain adsorbent. Formaldehyde is one of the major indoor gaseous pollutants. Depending on its concentration, formaldehyde may cause minor disorder symptoms to a serious injury. Some of the successful applications of technology for the removal of formaldehyde have been reported. However, this paper presents an overview of several studies on the elimination of formaldehyde that has been done by adsorption method because of its simplicity. The adsorption method does not require high energy and the adsorbent used can be obtained from inexpensive materials. Most researchers used activated carbon as an adsorbent for removal of formaldehyde because of its high adsorption capacity. Activated carbons can be produced from many materials such as coals, woods, or agricultural waste. Some of them were prepared by specific activation methods to improve the surface area. Some researchers also used modified activated carbon by adding specific additive to improve its performance in attracting formaldehyde molecules. Proposed modification methods on activation and additive impregnated carbon are thus discussed in this paper for future development and improvement of formaldehyde adsorption on activated carbon. Specifically, a waste agricultural product is chosen for activated carbon raw material because it is renewable and gives an added value to the materials. The study indicates that the performance of the adsorption of formaldehyde might be improved by using modified activated carbon. Bamboo seems to be the most appropriate raw materials to produce activated carbon combined with applying chemical activation method and addition of metal oxidative catalysts such as Cu or Ag in nano size particles. Bamboo activated carbon can be developed in addition to the capture of formaldehyde as well as the storage of adsorptive hydrogen gas that supports renewable energy. Keywords: adsorption; bamboo; formaldehyde; modified activated carbon; nano size particles

When change of hydrogen(H2) gas concentration in a certain point is measured, non-contact measurement technology with high temporal and spatial resolution is necessary. In this study, H2 concentration in the small area of <1cm2 under the gas flow was measured by using a Raman lidar. Raman scattering light at the measurement point of 750mm ahead was detected by the Raman lidar. As a result, it was proved that the H2 concentration of more than 100ppm could be successfully measured.

Lithium-Ion Capacitor (LIC) has shown promising performance to meet the needs of high energy and power-density-energy storage system in the era of electric vehicles nowadays. The development of electrode materials and electrolytes in recent years has improvised LIC performance significantly. One of the active materials of LIC electrodes, activated carbon (AC), can be synthesized from various biomass, one of which is the water hyacinth. Its abundant availability and low utilization make the water hyacinth as a promising activated carbon source. To observe the most optimal physical properties of AC, this study also compares various activation temperatures. In this study, full cell LIC was fabricated using LTO based anode, and water hyacinth derived AC as the cathode. The LIC full cell was further characterized to see the material properties and electrochemical performance. Water hyacinth derived LIC can achieve a specific capacitance of 32.11 F/g, the specific energy of 17.83 Wh/kg, and a specific power of 160.53 W/kg.

AbstractThe hydrogen adsorption capacity of various carbon nanostructures including single-wall carbon nanotubes, graphitic nanofibers, activated carbon, and graphite has been measured as a function of pressure and temperature. Our results show that at room temperature and a pressure of 80 bar the hydrogen storage capacity is less than 1 wt.% for all samples. Upon cooling, the capacity of hydrogen adsorption increases with decreasing temperature and the highest value was observed to be 2.9 wt. % at 50 bar and 77 K. The correlation between hydrogen storage capacity and specific surface area is discussed.
