A Side-illuminated Reactor for Studying Photothermal Coupled Catalytic Splitting of Water for Hydrogen Production

Abstract

The invention discloses a side-illuminated reactor for researching photo-thermal coupling catalytic decomposition of aquatic hydrogen. According to the invention, on the basis of a side-illuminated photocatalytic reactor, a heating sleeve with an opening in a side surface is designed, so that heating and accurate temperature control can be uniformly provided; in addition, a temperature measuring sensor is arranged in the reactor, so that the temperature of a reaction system can be monitored accurately; and a set of sampler integrating sampling, sealing and temperature measurement functions andan optional condensing reflux device are designed to solve the problem of sampling gas under pressure and at high temperature. The photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction requirements of different reaction temperatures from normal temperature to higher temperature (100 DEG C or above) and the like can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen production by solar photocatalytic decomposition of water, and in particular relates to a side-illuminated reactor for studying hydrogen production by photothermal coupling catalytic decomposition of water. Background technique [0002] At present, due to the well-known problems such as the gradual depletion of fossil energy and the increasingly serious environmental pollution, it is imperative to explore and develop new renewable energy systems. Solar energy has attracted extensive attention due to its advantages such as huge total amount, wide distribution, and environmental friendliness. However, its inherent defects such as low energy density, discontinuity, and uneven distribution greatly limit its large-scale use. Hydrogen is not only a clean fuel, but also an energy carrier. If it forms a solar-hydrogen energy system with solar energy, it can well solve the problem of large-scale storage and utiliza...
