Hydrogen storage in nanoparticles works: future expectations for hydrogen vehicles are improving

The Dutch chemist Kies Baldé demonstrated how hydrogen can be efficiently stored in nanoparticles. His research could enable an easier and more convenient use of hydrogen storage in mobile components. The researcher demonstrated that nanoparticles of the substance sodium hydride alanate (sodium hydride alanate) with a size of 30 nanometers provide storage and possible release of hydrogen.

Hydrogen is considered a means of storage and clean transportation of energy. Therefore, diverse future scenarios are based on the storage and transportation of hydrogen for many purposes. However, before it is possible to properly use this "hydrogen economy" on a large scale, it is necessary to overcome several obstacles. One of the most significant of them is hydrogen storage.

One of the most promising methods for storing hydrogen lies in embedding it in a metallic hydride. The disadvantage of this method is that the rate of assimilation and release of the hydrogen is too slow. Minimizing the particle size of the metal hydride to nanometer size could be a possible solution to this problem. The researcher demonstrated that 30 nanometer sodium clay hydride particles store hydrogen in a very efficient way. In combination with a titanium catalyst, the particle size can be minimized to 20 nanometers, a result that increases the efficiency of hydrogen storage. The deactivation of the reaction of the titanium catalyst was also examined since it is also responsible for the release rate of the hydrogen out of the hydride. Also, structural characteristics of the catalyst that affect its overall activity were examined and found. The above information could be used for the development and production of a more efficient catalyst.

  1. Dear scientists
    You discount fuel from water in your articles
    It seems that yours are either paid or pressured by big oil money or uninformed
    I just arrived back home to Israel from years in the US where cars are being converted, with UL approval, to run on HHO, which can be produced cheaply & efficiently by a simple Hydrogen Generator
    These cars have achieved 30% to 50% gas saving and reduced harmful emission by the same rate
    I sent my URL to your institution and received no response
    I'm totally frustrated of your action which proves again that no one really cares and acts very
    Please call me for a meeting at 054-9060337
    In which I intend to show you some amazing things that may change your
    mind
    Respectfully

  2. Very beautiful but…something is coming something that no one expected…the whole world will shake with excitement!……NIF…….

    A solution for global electricity consumption..

    With all the cynicism - the Prius is a great success.
    It reduces fuel consumption by 50 percent.
    It's true that it still doesn't solve the problem completely, but it definitely contradicts your argument.

  4. Hanan:
    I am not a prophet and I will not bet on the prices of the various solutions although it seems to me that the progress in the last year is very fast.
    On the other hand, I know that there are other issues that you are betting on and they are also related to conspiracies (much less likely because here, at least, there really are parties interested in the conspiracy, but according to me their ability to influence is limited)

  5. That's all well and good, but I'm also interested in the question, how much would a gallon of hydrogen cost, let's say? How much will a tank of "hydrogen fuel" equivalent to a liter of regular fuel cost?

    Why do I have a feeling that the same "hydrogen fuel" will cost no less (if not more) than normal fuel and the maintenance of vehicles powered by such fuel will be much more expensive than normal vehicles...

    I am willing to bet on at least one thing - until all the fuel reserves in the world are exhausted (including those yet to be discovered), all these inventions and developments will remain as gimmicks or "toys for the rich", or as curiosities - like the electric cars.

    We sometimes forget who is behind the global fuel industry, and how many multi-billion dollars this industry generates. Does anyone seriously believe that the oil giants and the fuel producing countries will allow the world to be supplied with cheap fuel, which is found in an almost inexhaustible amount???

  6. An answer to Palm
    There are some differences between carbon dioxide and water vapor:
    CO2 and steam are both greenhouse gases, but that's it.
    CO2 remains a gas at our temperatures all the time, while water vapor condenses quite quickly into liquid water (in the form of clouds, then rain and precipitation). So increasing humidity in cities through the emission of vapor will do nothing.
    Don't forget that all human activities in the urban environment evaporate a lot of water (which wouldn't exist in the area if it weren't for us), and also that gasoline cars emit water vapor (some of the smoke is water vapor)

  7. The cars will emit water and not steam because when the hydrogen is recombined with the oxygen
    An electron was created that drives the car. In my opinion, special infrastructures will be established to clear the water that will accumulate in the body of the car to prevent flooding in the sewage system.

  8. As far as I know, no one has yet died from moisture in the air, on the other hand, many die from fossil fuel pollution.

  9. palm tree:
    The water, in the end, will fall back as rain (assuming that it will indeed be emitted as vapor and not stored as a liquid)

  10. Tam's question - if millions of cars emitting CO2 is enough to worsen the greenhouse effect, what might be the effect of (let's be optimistic) millions of cars emitting water vapor? A significant increase in the percentage of humidity in the air in the centers of the big cities will not have a negative effect?
