TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a hydrogen storage and release control method, in particular to a hydrogen storage and release method based on a hydrogen-containing raw gas. BACKGROUND
[0002] In 2020, improving the green low-carbon system and seeking new clean energy became a major theme of development. Hydrogen energy is a clean and efficient secondary energy source with a wide range of sources. Hydrogen has a high calorific value, an energy density of 140.4 kJ / kg, and is environmentally friendly. The combustion product has no carbon emissions. Developing and utilizing hydrogen energy is the main strategic direction of global industrial innovation and energy transformation. Currently, hydrogen has been widely used in aerospace, military applications, chemical power sources and other fields.
[0003] From the perspective of development or preparation, in the process of preparing hydrogen by coal gasification, natural gas, methanol, industrial by-product hydrogen and water electrolysis, there are always impurity gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane, which cannot reach the high-precision use standard. In addition, the tail gas discharged by most chemical companies contains a large amount of hydrogen and hydrogen-containing raw gas (such as methane, ammonia, hydrogen chloride, ethane, formaldehyde, etc.). The existing production process directly discharges the tail gas into the flare system. On the one hand, a large amount of hydrogen is consumed in the production process, and on the other hand, a considerable part of the hydrogen is discharged with the tail gas, which not only causes waste of hydrogen resources, but also causes an increase in production costs. Therefore, extracting clean hydrogen from mixed gas and waste gas has become the focus of attention. There are three main methods for purifying and separating hydrogen from mixed gas: cryogenic separation, pressure swing adsorption separation and membrane separation. Cryogenic separation requires the mixed gas to be converted from a gaseous state to a liquid state, which consumes a large amount of energy and cost, and has poor flexibility. The pressure swing adsorption separation method requires controlling the temperature and pressure to achieve pressure swing adsorption to separate hydrogen. The equipment is large and occupies a large area. The membrane separation method has the advantages of simple operation, low energy consumption, small occupied area and continuous operation. The commonly used membranes are metal, zeolite and polymer. The current membrane separation of mixed gas is a complete physical process, which usually uses polymer membranes or amorphous carbon membranes. Therefore, the pore size of the membrane must be controlled, for example, when the pore size is 0.25 nm, H2 can pass through, but CH4 cannot pass through. However, the permeability and diffusion coefficient of the pores are easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and pressure, resulting in a decrease in selectivity. Moreover, the above three methods can only be implemented at a specific temperature or at a low temperature, and cannot be implemented over a wide temperature range to separate and purify hydrogen.
[0004] Hydrogen fuel cell is not subject to the Carnot cycle, so the energy conversion efficiency is high, the power and density are large, and the power generation process has little impact on the environment. It is the fourth generation of power generation technology after water power generation, thermal power generation and atomic power generation, and has broad application prospects in distributed power stations, electric vehicles, ships, submarines, aerospace, mobile communications and weapon equipment fields.
[0005] The most widely used in hydrogen fuel cell is proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Compared with other liquid electrolyte fuel cells, the solid proton exchange membrane with good proton conductivity is used, which not only avoids the inconvenience of liquid electrolyte operation, but also can make the proton exchange membrane into a thin film of several tens of microns, thereby improving the energy density of the cell. Therefore, it has the characteristics of high power density, high energy conversion efficiency, room temperature rapid start, no electrolyte leakage, low working temperature and rapid start and stop characteristics, and is recognized as the most promising power source for aerospace, military, electric vehicles and regional power stations. The key materials of proton exchange membrane fuel cell mainly include proton exchange membrane, catalyst, gas diffusion layer, bipolar plate and other main components. When hydrogen is used as raw material, hydrogen at the anode is decomposed into H + and electrons under the catalytic action of the catalyst, and then H + is transmitted to the cathode of the cell through the proton exchange membrane, and the electrons are moved from the anode to the cathode of the cell through the external circuit. However, there are still difficulties in realizing large-scale commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cell, mainly in that the cost of key materials such as proton exchange membrane, gas diffusion layer and catalyst is too high. As for the catalyst, the anode catalyst can only use Pt group metals or metal-containing supported materials, and no non-noble metal catalyst has been found. Taking methanol as fuel as an example, Pt cannot completely catalyze methanol, and CO and other small molecular organic hydrocarbon chemicals containing oxygen will be produced, and CO will poison the metal catalyst. The commonly used commercial catalyst is carbon-supported Pt type catalyst, and using Pt nanoparticles supported on carbon carrier is the best choice for proton exchange membrane fuel cell. From a technical point of view, if non-noble metal proton exchange membrane fuel cell can be used, using cheap catalyst instead of noble metal catalyst will be a better choice.
[0006] In addition, the key technology of hydrogen fuel cell is hydrogen storage and release. For pure hydrogen storage, conventional hydrogen storage methods include liquefied hydrogen storage, high-pressure hydrogen storage, non-metallic and metallic material solid hydrogen storage, etc. Among them, solid hydrogen storage is considered as the development trend of future hydrogen storage and transportation and the top technology of hydrogen fuel cell because it has relatively higher volume hydrogen storage density, low hydrogen storage pressure, high safety and less energy consumption. Solid hydrogen storage materials mainly include metal alloy materials, carbon-based materials, inorganic porous materials, chemical hydrogen compound materials and metal organic framework compound materials, etc. However, the performance of various hydrogen storage materials in safety, volume hydrogen storage density and mass hydrogen storage density still needs to be improved, otherwise it cannot meet the requirements of practical use of hydrogen energy. The ideal hydrogen storage material can work under mild conditions and has large weight hydrogen storage density, volume hydrogen storage density and long service life. The most commonly required target is mass hydrogen storage density of more than 6wt%, hydrogen release temperature of less than 250℃ and working pressure of less than 2MPa, etc. With the continuous in-depth research of solid hydrogen storage technology, fullerene, graphene and carbon nanotube materials are expected to become high-efficiency hydrogen storage materials in theory due to their hollow tubular structure and large specific surface area. It is found that the interaction between carbon nanotube material and hydrogen is weak physical adsorption, which is reversible adsorption and easy to desorb, which is beneficial to reduce the hydrogen release temperature, but the disadvantage is that the selectivity is not high, the separation coefficient is small, and the mass hydrogen storage density is only 0.2wt% under normal conditions, which cannot be used as high-efficiency hydrogen storage and transportation. Although the hydrogen storage density of chemical adsorption is improved, the disadvantage is that the desorption of adsorbent is difficult, and due to the strong binding force of some chemical adsorption, the adsorption process is irreversible, the desorption temperature is too high, and the practical application cannot be realized. Therefore, the development of new high-density hydrogen storage technology and reversible hydrogen storage / release technology in solid materials is the research focus at present. SUMMARY

[0072] Embodiment 1
[0073] Hydrogen gas is purified by injecting electrons into double-layer graphite using hydrogen-containing mixed gas of hydrogen, nitrogen and argon as raw material, specifically: the hydrogen-containing mixed gas is sent into one side of the double-layer graphene, the gas pressure is 1 MPa, the temperature is 200°C, the two-dimensional material film is double-layer graphene, the thickness of the double-layer graphene is about 1 nm, and the size area is 100 nm 2 , the double-layer graphene is activated by injecting electrons into the double-layer graphene through an electrostatic generator, the current of the electrostatic generator is 5 nA, and the voltage is 100 V. Under the catalytic action of the activated double-layer graphene, the hydrogen atoms in the mixed gas are decomposed into protons and electrons, and the protons and electrons can freely pass through the double-layer graphene. After the protons and electrons pass through the activated double-layer graphene, the protons and electrons combine to form hydrogen gas again.

[0132] The method for generating protons based on hydrogen-containing raw material gas is used for hydrogen storage and release. The principle is as follows: using the characteristics that solid-state materials such as graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes, fullerene molecules, hexagonal boron nitride, and molybdenum disulfide can only permeate protons, combined with hydrogen plasma, light energy, thermal energy, or electron injection, hydrogen is stored in the interlayer or cavity of the solid-state material. When hydrogen is used, the above-mentioned solid-state materials are activated by means such as light energy, thermal energy, or electron injection to catalytically decompose hydrogen into protons and electrons. The permeated protons and electrons recombine to generate hydrogen, which is released from the interlayer and / or cavity of the solid-state material, achieving hydrogen storage and release.
[0133] The specific method includes a hydrogen storage process and a hydrogen release process. The hydrogen storage process includes the following steps:
[0134] a1) Select a non-metallic material that can only be permeated by protons;
[0135] a2) Activating non-metallic materials to produce catalytic properties;
[0136] a3) Introduce hydrogen-containing raw material gas into the non-metallic material side;
[0137] a4) Under the catalytic action of activated non-metallic materials, the introduced hydrogen-containing raw material gas is decomposed into protons and electrons; or hydrogen plasma technology is directly used to generate protons and electrons from the hydrogen-containing raw material gas.
[0138] a5) Protons and electrons permeate into the activated non-metallic material, recombine in the non-metallic material to form pure hydrogen gas, and are stored in the non-metallic material, thus completing the hydrogen storage in the non-metallic material.
[0139] The hydrogen release process includes the following steps:
[0140] b1) Activates non-metallic materials containing hydrogen and produces catalytic properties;
[0141] b2) Under the catalysis of activated non-metallic materials, the hydrogen gas stored in the non-metallic materials is decomposed into protons and electrons;
[0142] b3) The protons and electrons obtained in step b2) pass through the activated non-metallic material and recombine to form pure hydrogen gas, thus completing the hydrogen release from the non-metallic material.
[0143] Taking two-dimensional material sheets such as graphene sheets, hexagonal boron nitride sheets, or molybdenum disulfide sheets as examples, the following explanation is provided:
[0144] The high-density hydrogen storage and reversible hydrogen absorption / desorption in graphene sheets utilize the following hydrogen storage mechanism:
[0145] 1) In a graphene sheet of preferred thickness for the applicable application, hydrogen gas is introduced into the space where the graphene sheet is located, and then plasma, thermal energy or electron injection are applied.
[0146] 2) Under plasma conditions, hydrogen-containing gases (such as...) Figure 5 Hydrogen or Figure 6 The methane in the solution is decomposed into H2O. + And electrons, H +and electrons cross into the graphene interlayer, recombine to form pure hydrogen gas, and are stored in the graphene interlayer; at this time, specifically, the hydrogen gas stored in the graphene interlayer of the graphene sheet with a thickness of 50-100 nm has excellent thermal stability, and the hydrogen gas in the graphene interlayer does not decrease after heating at 150°C, 300°C, and 400°C in vacuum for 4 hours, respectively (as shown in Figure 8 ); and the time stability is very good, and the hydrogen gas does not decrease after the four samples with different heights are stored in the air for 3-4 months (as shown in Figure 9 ). Similarly, under the conditions of injecting electrons or heating, the activated graphene catalytically decomposes the hydrogen-containing gas into H + and electrons, and then, driven by the concentration difference and the potential difference, H + and electrons cross into the graphene interlayer, recombine to form hydrogen gas, and are stored in the graphene interlayer, which also has excellent thermal stability and time stability.
[0147] The hydrogen release process is as follows:
[0148] During hydrogen release, the graphene sheet is activated by means such as light energy, heat energy, or electron injection, catalytically decomposes the interlayer hydrogen gas into protons and electrons, and the permeated protons and electrons recombine to generate hydrogen gas, thereby releasing hydrogen gas from the interlayer and / or cavity of the solid material. The entire process of hydrogen storage and release does not damage the intrinsic structure of the graphene material (as shown in Figure 10 ), and the graphene material can be reused and has a long service life.
[0149] The process of high-density hydrogen storage and reversible absorption / release in the hexagonal boron nitride sheet is as follows:
[0150] Hydrogen storage:
[0151] 1) In the hexagonal boron nitride sheet with a preferred thickness in a suitable application, a hydrogen-containing gas is introduced into the space where the hexagonal boron nitride sheet is located, and then a means such as plasma, heat energy, or electron injection is applied;
[0152] 2) Under the condition of plasma, the hydrogen-containing gas is decomposed into H + and electrons, H + and electrons cross into the interlayer of the hexagonal boron nitride, recombine to form hydrogen gas, and are stored in the interlayer of the hexagonal boron nitride; under the conditions of injecting electrons or heating, the activated hexagonal boron nitride catalytically decomposes the hydrogen-containing gas into H + and electrons, and then, driven by the concentration difference and the potential difference, H + and electrons cross into the interlayer of the hexagonal boron nitride, recombine to form hydrogen gas, and are stored in the interlayer of the hexagonal boron nitride, as shown in Figure 7 , which is an atomic force microscope image of hydrogen storage in the interlayer of hexagonal boron nitride.
[0153] Hydrogen release:
