Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal materials, in particular to an aluminum alloy for hydrogen production by hydrolysis and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Energy is the material basis of human activities, and the development of human society is inseparable from high-quality energy. However, due to the non-renewability of the fossil energy that humans rely on and the huge demand for it, the fossil energy is gradually exhausted, and the energy crisis is imminent. Hydrogen energy has the advantages of high energy, non-toxic, renewable, and good combustion performance, and is regarded as the clean energy with the most development potential in the 21st century. In order to further develop and utilize hydrogen energy and promote the development of "hydrogen economy", hydrogen energy technology has been included in the "Tenth Five-Year Plan for Science and Technology Development and 2015 Long-term Plan (Energy F...
