Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of full-spectrum solar energy utilization, hydrogen energy and seawater desalination technology, and specifically relates to an integrated device for hydrogen production, storage and seawater desalination using full-spectrum solar energy frequency division. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen boasts numerous advantages, including being green and low-carbon, abundant in resources, renewable, and having high energy density. It is hailed as the most promising secondary energy source of the 21st century and is of great significance for building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system. Currently, the most promising and feasible pathways for hydrogen production include solar-powered water splitting and water electrolysis driven by wind or photovoltaic power generation. Among these, solar-powered water splitting is simple, has a mild reaction, and requires minimal equipment investment. Hydrogen can be produced simply by irradiating a liquid-phase suspension system of catalyst powder with abundant sunlight, without the need for costly electrolyzers, photovoltaic power generation, or wind power equipment. Furthermore, it avoids the slow mass transfer process of water on a limited electrode surface, making it the ideal low-cost method for producing green hydrogen.
[0003] The wavelength of sunlight is mainly distributed between 200-2500 nm, with the ultraviolet region (<400 nm) accounting for only 4.6%, the visible light region (400-700 nm) accounting for 43.1%, and the infrared region (700-1000 nm) accounting for 26.4%. Since Fujishima and Honda discovered water splitting on TiO2 photoelectrodes in 1972, the study of photocatalytic water splitting has received widespread attention, and a large number of photocatalysts have been developed. Most photocatalysts are composed of semiconductor materials, which generate electron-hole pairs by absorbing incident light. If the charge carriers meet the energy requirements, they migrate to the surface and undergo redox reactions. Although semiconductor materials exhibit many excellent optical and catalytic properties, their absorption and utilization of visible and even infrared light are severely insufficient due to their inherent band structure and the matching requirements of water redox reactions. This is one of the main reasons for the current low efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production, and it also indicates that it is difficult to achieve high utilization of solar energy through a single photocatalytic method. It is worth noting that infrared light, which accounts for 54% of the solar spectrum energy, and a portion of visible light can often be released as heat energy through photothermal conversion. However, photocatalysis struggles to efficiently utilize this heat energy. To achieve efficient solar energy utilization, it is essential to design targeted frequency-division utilization of the entire solar spectrum. Notably, heat can effectively lower the energy barrier of catalytic hydrogen addition and storage reactions, accelerating hydrogen storage efficiency. Furthermore, research indicates that heat can also efficiently drive seawater evaporation and desalination. Therefore, photocatalysis, hydrogen storage, and seawater desalination can be organically coupled and rationally designed to achieve synergistic matching among the three, enabling frequency-division utilization of the entire solar spectrum and achieving efficient solar energy utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The integrated hydrogen production, storage, and seawater desalination device utilizing the full spectrum of solar energy comprises, from the inside out, a photocatalytic hydrogen production system, a catalytic hydrogen addition and storage system, and a thermal evaporation seawater desalination system.
[0007] The photocatalytic hydrogen production system is used to absorb ultraviolet light and part of visible light to catalytically split water to produce hydrogen. Part of the visible light and infrared light bands are absorbed by the photocatalyst and the photocatalytic solution and converted into heat.
[0008] The catalytic hydrogenation and storage system is used to absorb the unused portion of visible and infrared light bands and convert them into heat, and transfer the waste heat generated by the photocatalytic hydrogen production system to the catalytic hydrogenation and storage system, so as to achieve the synergistic driving of the catalytic hydrogenation and storage system by the remaining solar photothermal energy and the waste heat of the photocatalytic hydrogen production system.
[0009] The hydrogen produced by photocatalysis is transferred to the catalytic hydrogen production and storage system as the hydrogen source for hydrogen addition, realizing the full spectrum frequency division of solar light for hydrogen production and storage, and realizing the integration of hydrogen production and storage.
[0010] The thermal evaporation seawater desalination system utilizes the waste heat from the catalytic hydrogenation and hydrogen storage system to drive seawater evaporation and produce fresh water, thus realizing the full utilization of the solar energy spectrum.
[0011] Preferably, a solar light source is positioned above the photocatalytic hydrogen production system.
[0012] Preferably, the hydrogen produced by the photocatalytic hydrogen production system is used as the hydrogen source for the hydrogen storage system.
[0013] Preferably, the photocatalytic hydrogen production system absorbs and utilizes ultraviolet light and part of the visible light spectrum from sunlight.
[0014] Preferably, a gas purging port is provided on the upper side of the catalytic hydrogenation and hydrogen storage system.

[0016] Preferably, the full-spectrum frequency division utilization involves photocatalytic hydrogen production using ultraviolet light and part of the visible light, photothermal conversion using part of the visible light and infrared light, and simultaneously driving seawater evaporation and desalination.
[0017] Preferably, a condensation module is installed above the thermal evaporation seawater desalination system. One end of the condensation module is connected to a freshwater collection tank to draw in the generated freshwater, which is then output as a product from the outlet.
[0018] Preferably, the photocatalytic hydrogen production system, the catalytic hydrogen storage system, and the thermal evaporation seawater desalination system are detachable.
[0019] Preferably, the photocatalytic hydrogen production system, the catalytic hydrogen storage system, and the thermal evaporation seawater desalination system are all separated by glass with excellent light transmittance and thermal conductivity.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0021] This integrated hydrogen production, storage, and seawater desalination device utilizes the full spectrum of solar energy for efficient utilization. Based on this goal, it constructs an integrated hydrogen production, storage, and seawater desalination unit. After sunlight enters the device from the inner layer as energy input, a photocatalyst absorbs and utilizes a portion of the solar energy, coupling it with organic substrates for photocatalytic hydrogen production and organic degradation. The output hydrogen enters the second layer, which employs a photothermal hydrogenation catalyst and a hydrogen storage carrier. This second layer utilizes the hydrogen input from the inner layer and the remaining solar energy, combining the hydrogen with the storage carrier under the action of the catalyst to obtain hydrogen storage material as the output product. The remaining solar energy is absorbed and converted into usable heat energy by the photothermal effect of the catalyst, promoting the hydrogen storage reaction. This remaining heat energy is then input to the outermost layer, where the seawater desalination section utilizes the input heat energy for thermal evaporation desalination, converting seawater into freshwater vapor. This vapor is then cooled and liquefied in a condensation module to output freshwater. This progressive process ultimately achieves efficient, frequency-divided utilization of the full spectrum of solar energy.
[0022] Furthermore, the xenon lamp irradiation inlet serves to simulate sunlight energy as the energy input for the system in a laboratory environment.
[0023] Furthermore, to further promote the photocatalytic hydrogen production coupled with organic degradation reaction inside the device, a first stirring magnetic point was set up to ensure that the reactants and catalyst are in full contact, thereby achieving a good hydrogen yield.
[0024] Furthermore, since the sun's energy is mainly concentrated in the visible light band, photocatalysts that efficiently absorb visible light can utilize solar energy more efficiently.
[0025] Furthermore, to ensure device safety and connectivity, and to eliminate the influence of air components on the reaction within the device, a gas purging port is provided to discharge air from the system and maintain stable gas pressure within the device.
[0026] Furthermore, in order to promote sufficient contact between the hydrogen storage carrier and the hydrogenation catalyst and thus obtain good hydrogen storage efficiency, a second stirring magnetic particle placement point is set to promote the hydrogen storage reaction.
[0027] Furthermore, substances with good photothermal effects can fully absorb light and efficiently convert the input solar energy into heat energy. Hydrogenation catalysts and hydrogen storage carriers with photothermal effects can be used for efficient hydrogen storage reactions. Setting hydrogenation catalysts and hydrogen storage carriers with photothermal effects in the second layer can simultaneously achieve efficient hydrogen storage and utilize the surplus solar energy to convert it into heat.
[0028] Furthermore, to ensure that the freshwater vapor generated by the heating of seawater can be transferred out of the device in a timely and efficient manner, a condensation module is used to liquefy the freshwater vapor and drip it into the freshwater collection tank, and the freshwater is output as the product of the device through the freshwater outlet.
[0029] Furthermore, high thermal conductivity and high light transmittance glass materials are used to ensure stable transfer of light and heat energy between systems, i.e., efficient heat transfer.
[0030] In summary, this invention utilizes sunlight entering the device system from the innermost layer as energy input, and the full spectrum of solar energy is gradually and fully utilized from the inside out, achieving efficient full spectrum utilization of solar energy, while simultaneously realizing integrated hydrogen production and storage, seawater desalination, and organic wastewater treatment.

This achieves efficient hydrogen production and storage while simultaneously utilizing excess heat for seawater desalination. The invention aims to design and construct an integrated device that synergistically promotes the degradation of organic wastewater, efficient hydrogen production and storage, and seawater desalination, ultimately realizing the efficient utilization of the full spectrum of solar energy.
[0043] Please see Figure 1 This invention discloses an integrated hydrogen production, storage, and seawater desalination device utilizing the full spectrum of solar energy for frequency division. The device includes a housing, which, from the inside out, comprises a photocatalytic system layer, a hydrogen storage system layer, and a thermal evaporation seawater desalination system layer. A xenon lamp irradiation inlet 7 is located above the photocatalytic system layer, and a first stirring magnetic dome placement point 11 is located at the bottom of the photocatalytic system layer. An organic wastewater-coupled photocatalytic system 8 is located inside the photocatalytic system layer. The photocatalytic system layer is open and connected to the hydrogen storage system layer for introducing the generated hydrogen into the hydrogen storage system layer. A hydrogen storage system 9, containing a hydrogenation catalyst with good photothermal effect and a hydrogen storage carrier, is located inside the hydrogen storage system layer. A gas purging port 4 is located on one side of the middle section, and a second stirring magnetic dome placement point 12 is located at the bottom of the hydrogen storage system layer. Seawater 10 is located inside the thermal evaporation seawater desalination system layer. An inclined hook 3 is located on one side of the thermal evaporation seawater desalination system layer for suspending and fixing a condensation module 2. One end of the condensation module 2 is connected to a freshwater collection tank 1, and the freshwater is output as the device product through a freshwater outlet 15.
[0044] Among them, the photocatalytic hydrogen production system, the catalytic hydrogen storage system, and the thermal evaporation seawater desalination system are all designed with detachable structures.
[0045] A photocatalytic system is established at the center of an integrated hydrogen production, storage, and seawater desalination device that utilizes the full spectrum of solar energy for frequency division. Hydrogen is generated using a photocatalyst and organic wastewater. The hydrogen is then introduced into the second-layer hydrogen storage system through a top opening. Simultaneously, the photothermal effect of the hydrogen catalyst absorbs excess light energy and converts it into heat energy, driving the hydrogen storage reaction in the system. A thermal evaporation seawater desalination system is established at the outermost layer, using the waste heat from the second-layer system as the driving force to desalinate seawater, thus making full use of solar energy.
[0046] For the central layer photocatalytic system, a high-efficiency photocatalyst is used, which can efficiently absorb ultraviolet and visible light. At the same time, the organic wastewater to be treated can be used as the reaction solution to achieve stable and efficient hydrogen production by photocatalysis and organic wastewater treatment.
[0047] For two-layer hydrogen storage systems, hydrogenation catalysts with good photothermal effects are preferred to ensure that the system can fully absorb the remaining light energy and convert it into usable heat energy. Unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, alkynes, alkenes, aromatic benzene rings and other small organic molecules are used as hydrogen storage carriers to realize the storage of hydrogen produced by the photocatalytic system.
[0048] For the outermost seawater desalination system, it can fully absorb and utilize the waste heat from the photocatalytic hydrogen production and storage system. At the same time, the condensation module uses materials with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum plates, to ensure that fresh water can be fully collected.
[0049] The working principle of the integrated hydrogen production, storage, and seawater desalination device utilizing the full spectrum of solar energy for frequency division in this invention is as follows:
[0050] The three parts—photocatalysis, catalytic hydrogen addition and storage, and seawater thermal evaporation desalination—utilize the full spectrum of sunlight.
[0051] First, sunlight directly irradiates the photocatalytic system. The photocatalyst absorbs ultraviolet light and some visible light to catalytically decompose water to produce hydrogen. Some visible light and infrared light are absorbed by the photocatalyst and the photocatalytic solution and converted into heat. The photocatalytic solution can be organic wastewater, which can both produce hydrogen and degrade organic wastewater.
[0052] Secondly, the unabsorbed portion of visible and infrared light is absorbed and converted into heat by the catalyst in the catalytic hydrogenation system. The waste heat generated by the photocatalytic system can also be transferred to the catalytic hydrogenation and storage system, lowering the energy barrier of the reaction process and enabling synergistic driving of catalytic hydrogenation and storage by the remaining solar photothermal energy and the waste heat from the photocatalytic system. Simultaneously, the hydrogen produced by photocatalysis can be transferred to the catalytic hydrogenation and storage system as a hydrogen source, achieving not only full-spectrum frequency-based hydrogen production and storage from sunlight but also integrated hydrogen production and storage. The catalytic hydrogenation and storage catalyst and the hydrogen storage support can respectively employ a photothermal hydrogenation catalyst and unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, alkynes, alkenes, aromatic benzene rings, and other small organic molecule hydrogen storage supports.
[0053] Furthermore, the waste heat from the catalytic hydrogenation and hydrogen storage system is further utilized through the thermal evaporation seawater desalination system to drive seawater evaporation to produce fresh water, thus realizing the full utilization of the entire solar energy spectrum.
