Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of hydrogen energy, in particular to a magnesium-based hydrogen thermal storage system based on MgO / MgCO3 thermochemical heat storage. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrogen energy has the characteristics of low carbon pollution, high weight energy density, and easy conversion with other energy, and is an important direction for sustainable development in China. Hydrogen storage and transportation is a key node connecting the hydrogen production end and the hydrogen use end, and efficient and safe hydrogen storage and transportation is a bottleneck for the hydrogen energy industry. Solid-state hydrogen storage technology has the advantages of high hydrogen storage density, high safety, low cost, and long cycle period.

[0003] Among solid-state hydrogen storage materials, magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials have high mass and volume hydrogen storage density (7.6wt%, 110 gL -1 ), high safety, normal temperature and pressure storage and transportation, abundant resources, and low cost, and are considered an important way to realize large-scale hydrogen storage and transportation. However, the magnesium-based hydrogen storage material involves a large heat change (~74.7 kJ mol -1 H2) in the hydrogen absorption and desorption process, and when it is filled in a solid-state hydrogen storage device for use, the heat released in the hydrogen absorption process is not effectively utilized and is easily dissipated, and a large amount of heat needs to be supplied by an external heat source in the hydrogen desorption process. This leads to low energy efficiency of the magnesium-based hydrogen storage system, hindering its popularization and application.

[0004] The reversible reaction of MgO / MgCO3 also involves a large heat change (~100.9 kJ mol -1 CO2), and its reaction temperature is similar to that of Mg / MgH2, and is a very potential thermochemical heat storage reaction pair for use with magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials. Magnesium oxide is a low-cost carbon dioxide adsorbent with a high theoretical adsorption capacity (24.8 mmol g -1 ) and medium-temperature adsorption and desorption (200℃-400℃). However, the actual adsorption capacity of pure magnesium oxide is very small (<1 mmol g -1 ), and the reaction kinetics is very slow. By doping and compounding alkali metal nitrates (such as LiNO3, NaNO3, and KNO3), the actual capacity and kinetic performance of the magnesium oxide adsorbing carbon dioxide can be effectively improved, and the heat storage performance of the MgO / MgCO3 reaction pair can be improved.

[0005] Therefore, the person skilled in the art is committed to developing a MgO / MgCO3 thermochemical heat storage reaction pair that can effectively store the heat released when the magnesium-based hydrogen storage material absorbs hydrogen and supply heat when the magnesium-based hydrogen storage material desorbs hydrogen, so as to effectively improve the energy utilization rate of the magnesium-based hydrogen thermal storage system and lay a foundation for developing and applying a magnesium-based hydrogen storage system that is efficient, safe, and low in energy consumption. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the heat released in the hydrogen absorption process of the existing magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage device is not effectively utilized, a large amount of heat needs to be supplied by an external heat source in the hydrogen release process, and the system energy efficiency is low. In the MgO / MgCO3 thermochemical heat storage reaction pair, the actual adsorption capacity of pure magnesium oxide to carbon dioxide is low, and the heat storage capacity is limited. The magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage device generally uses a metal shell such as steel and iron, and the heat dissipation of the device is serious during use.

[0007] The present application utilizes the MgO / MgCO3 thermochemical heat storage reaction pair for hydrogen-heat storage, and the magnesium oxide-based thermochemical heat storage material efficiently stores the heat released when the magnesium-based hydrogen storage material absorbs hydrogen, and quickly releases heat when the magnesium-based hydrogen storage material needs heat supply during hydrogen release, thereby improving the system energy efficiency. By using a single or doped composite alkali metal nitrate (such as 10wt% NaNO3, 10wt% KNO3, 10wt% LiNO3, 5wt% NaNO3-5wt% KNO3, 5wt% NaNO3-5wt% LiNO3, 5wt% KNO3-5wt% LiNO3) in a certain mass ratio, the actual capacity and kinetic performance of the magnesium oxide to adsorb carbon dioxide are improved. When the temperature reaches the melting point of the alkali metal nitrate (about 300℃), the nitrate will become liquid, promoting the reaction of magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide, improving the adsorption and desorption capacity and kinetics, and further improving the heat storage performance. A vacuum thermal insulation layer is designed and constructed on the outermost layer of the magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage device to reduce heat dissipation during use. The thermal conductivity of vacuum is basically zero, and there is no heat convection in vacuum. By designing and constructing a vacuum thermal insulation layer on the outermost layer of the magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage device, the heat dissipation loss due to heat conduction and heat convection of the device can be effectively reduced.

[0020] Preferably, the carbon dioxide storage device 14 can use gaseous or liquid direct storage or MOF, activated carbon, etc. for adsorption storage.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the present application, when the system is first used, the magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage device 1, the MgO / MgCO3 heat storage device 2, and the vacuum insulation layer 3 are first vacuumized.
