Problems solved by technology

However, this process uses expensive metal gallium, and gallium only plays a catalytic role in the hydrogen production by cracking water from aluminum, and cannot crack water by itself, resulting in a decrease in the hydrogen production capacity of the effective quality alloy.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing hydrogen from aluminum lithium alloy cracking water. The method is to take aluminum lithium alloy as a raw material for hydrogen preparation, make the aluminum lithium alloy react with pure water or water in an aqueous solution, and quickly generate the hydrogen. The aluminum lithium alloy comprises 0.5 to 40 weight percent of metallic lithium in percentage by mass, and the granularity of the alloy is unlimited; and the lithium in the alloy greatly improves the reaction activity of aluminum and the water. The application scope of hydrogen preparation by the alloy is wide; the hydrogen can be generated in the water or the aqueous solution at various temperatures; and the hydrogen yield is high by utilization of the alloy for hydrogen preparation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing hydrogen by splitting water with an aluminum-lithium alloy, and belongs to the field of hydrogen energy preparation. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen combustion has no harmful products and is an environmentally friendly energy source. With people's concern about the ecological environment, the development and utilization of hydrogen as a fuel has received great attention. At the same time, the increase in electricity demand around the world, the strict control of greenhouse gas emissions and the decline in crude oil storage have also prompted people to consider the transition from the current crude oil economy to the hydrogen energy economy. The hydrogen economy is also a long-term environmentally friendly option for sustainable development. This trend has become more and more obvious in the past ten years, and the emphasis on clean energy will directly promote the large-scale application of hydro...
