Problems solved by technology

However, the hydrogen storage alloy is more expensive, the alloy is easy to pulverize during the hydrogen charging and discharging process, and the hydrogen charging process is more complicated
Currently more advanced is the patented technology with the patent name "Electrochemical Aluminum-Water Hydrogen Storage and Hydrogen Production Method and Equipment" (application number: 02148850.9), which is composed of aluminum alloy electrode-electrolyte-highly active hydrogen evolution catalyst electrode The two-phase circulating filtration closed system composed of plates has the advantages of high efficiency, safety, and environmental protection. Its disadvantage is that the aluminum alloy electrodes are disposable consumables and cannot be reused. After each hydrogen production, the aluminum alloy electrodes need to be replaced, and the consumption is relatively high. Big
In addition, the aluminum oxide produced needs to be filtered out by pump circulation, and the hydrogen production process is more complicated, which increases the cost

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to hydrogen energy storage and manufacturing technology, in particular to a method for electrochemical zinc-water hydrogen production and hydrogen storage. 2. Background technology [0002] With the gradual increase in consumption of fossil fuels and the gradual depletion of their reserves, as well as the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, the primary energy represented by oil, coal, and natural gas will eventually be replaced by solar energy, wind energy, ocean energy, bioenergy, etc. replaced by clean and renewable energy. Hydrogen energy, as a non-polluting secondary energy source, has many outstanding advantages such as abundant resources, large combustion heat mass, and the combustion product is water, which will not cause environmental pollution, and has been widely valued by countries all over the world. In particular, the hydrogen-oxygen (air) fuel cell that uses hydrogen as fuel, which has emerged in rec...
