Hydrogen will be even more used industrial production processes reduction agent or synthetic hydrocarbons, especially chemical industry refineries. Under certain conditions material based systems compression offer advantages...
In context of investigations doped sodium alanate as a hydrogen storage material, an investigation combining TEM-EDX study and XAFS measurements has been carried out on alanate, using titanium tetrabutylate (Ti(OBun)4), colloidal nanoparticles (Ti*) or TiCl3 doping agents. It was found that the dehydrogenated wet-chemically Ti(OBun)4 NaAlH4 consists crystalline Al amorphous NaH phase. The striking result EDX analyses is in each case Ti-dopant to be present only On other hand, with Ti*...
The goal of the EU Horizon 2020 RISE project 778307 "Hydrogen fuelled utility vehicles and their support systems utilising metal hydrides" (HYDRIDE4MOBILITY), is in addressing critical issues towards a commercial implementation hydrogen powered forklifts using hydride (MH) based storage PEM fuel cells, together with for refuelling at industrial customers facilities.
