[0047] In some embodiments, the composite hydrogen storage device 10 further includes a delivery pump 400. The delivery pump 400 is disposed on a water supply pipeline and is used to supply water to the first reaction chamber 100 through the water supply pipeline.

[0048] In some embodiments, the composite hydrogen storage device 10 further includes a gas-liquid separator 500. The gas-liquid separator 500 is connected to the gas outlet of the first reaction chamber 100. The gas-liquid separator 500 is used to separate the water vapor and / or hydrogen from the gas outlet of the first reaction chamber 100 into gas and liquid.

[0049] In some embodiments, the gas-liquid separator 500 is also used to connect to the fuel cell 20. The gas after gas-liquid separation in the gas-liquid separator 500 enters the fuel cell 20.

[0050] In some embodiments, a feed control baffle is provided at the feed inlet of the first reaction chamber 100. The feed control baffle is movably connected to the first reaction chamber 100. The feed control baffle can control the size of the feed inlet of the first reaction chamber 100 to achieve control of the feed amount. The feed control baffle is not shown in the drawings.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first reaction chamber 100 is loaded with a hydrolysis hydrogen production material. The hydrolysis reaction refers to a chemical reaction between the hydrolysis hydrogen production material and water to produce hydrogen.

[0052] In some embodiments, the hydrolysis hydrogen production material includes: one or more of active metal materials, silicon-based composite materials, metal hydride materials, and borohydride materials. Among them, the active metals mainly include the following: potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), tin (Sn), etc. Metal materials can mainly include aluminum-based composite materials and magnesium-based composite materials. Metal hydride materials mainly include magnesium hydride, lithium aluminum tetrahydride, calcium hydride, etc. Borohydride materials mainly include: sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium borohydride, magnesium borohydride, ammonia borane, etc.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second reaction chamber 200 is loaded with a reforming reaction catalyst for catalyzing a methanol reforming reaction, so as to realize a methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction in the second reaction chamber 200. The second reaction chamber 200 is used to connect the fuel cell 20, and a purification device 600 is provided on the pipeline between the second reaction chamber 200 and the fuel cell 20.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second reaction chamber 200 is connected to a methanol storage tank. The methanol storage tank is used to input methanol aqueous solution into the second reaction chamber 200. A delivery pump 400 is also provided on the pipeline between the methanol storage tank and the second reaction chamber 200. The volume of the methanol storage tank can be set as needed.

[0055] Methanol reforming is an important chemical process for producing hydrogen from methanol and water vapor. This process is mainly based on the following chemical reactions:

[0056] Methanol cracking reaction: CH3OH→CO+2H2-90.7 kJ / mol;

[0057] Water-gas shift reaction (also called shift reaction): H2O+CO→CO2+H2+41.2 kJ / mol;

[0058] Methanol steam reforming reaction: CH3OH+H2O→CO2+3H2-49.5 kJ / mol.

[0059] In practical applications, methanol reacts with water vapor under specific temperature (usually between 250°C and 300°C) and pressure (about 1 to 5 MPa) conditions through a suitable reforming reaction catalyst. The selection of reforming reaction catalysts is crucial to improving reaction efficiency and selectivity. Commonly used reforming reaction catalysts include copper-based catalysts. During the entire reforming reaction, methanol is first cracked, followed by the shift reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor, and finally hydrogen and carbon dioxide are generated. In addition to hydrogen and carbon dioxide, the generated gas mixture may also contain a small amount of other impurities, such as methane or sulfide. In order to obtain high-purity hydrogen, the gas mixture also needs to undergo subsequent purification treatment, such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and other technologies, to remove these impurities. Methanol reforming hydrogen production technology is considered to be a hydrogen production method with broad application prospects due to its advantages such as a wide source of raw materials, low cost, environmental friendliness, and convenient storage and transportation, especially in promoting hydrogen energy and achieving carbon neutrality goals.

[0060] In some of the embodiments, the second reaction chamber 200 is loaded with a liquid hydrogen storage releasing catalyst capable of catalyzing the release of hydrogen from organic liquid hydrogen storage, so that the second reaction chamber 200 uses organic liquid hydrogen storage to release hydrogen.

[0061] In some embodiments, the liquid hydrogen storage release catalyst includes one or both of a platinum-based catalyst and a nickel-based catalyst. The second reaction chamber 200 is connected to a hydrogen storage material storage box 700 , which is used to input organic liquid hydrogen storage material into the second reaction chamber 200 .

[0062] Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) is a technology that uses specific organic compounds to reversibly convert between hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions to store and release hydrogen. Organic liquid hydrogen storage materials are usually some unsaturated organic compounds, such as certain alkenes, alkynes or aromatic hydrocarbons, which can store hydrogen in the form of chemical bonds in the molecular structure through hydrogenation reactions to form stable hydrides; when hydrogen is needed, it is released through dehydrogenation reactions.

[0063] In some embodiments, the organic liquid hydrogen storage material includes one or more of benzene, toluene, xylene, carbazole and nitrogen ethyl carbazole.

[0064] In some embodiments, the second reaction chamber 200 is loaded with a solid hydrogen storage alloy material, and the second reaction chamber 200 is also connected to a water storage tank. The second reaction chamber 200 can heat the solid hydrogen storage alloy material to release hydrogen through the exothermic heat of the hydrolysis reaction in the first reaction chamber 100.

[0065] Solid-state hydrogen storage alloy materials are materials that can absorb and release hydrogen and are mainly used to store hydrogen safely and efficiently. Such materials are usually composed of metals or alloys that can undergo a reversible chemical reaction with hydrogen under certain temperature and pressure conditions to form metal hydrides. When hydrogen needs to be released, it is only necessary to change the temperature or pressure conditions. Characteristics of solid-state hydrogen storage alloy materials: (1) High safety: Compared with high-pressure gaseous or low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage, solid-state hydrogen storage is safer because hydrogen is fixed inside the material and will not release a large amount of hydrogen immediately even if the container is damaged. (2) High hydrogen storage density: The hydrogen storage density of some solid-state hydrogen storage materials can reach a high level, which is conducive to improving the energy density of the hydrogen storage system. (3) Reversibility: Solid-state hydrogen storage materials can be repeatedly charged and discharged under certain conditions and have good cycle stability. (4) Strong environmental adaptability: Suitable for use in a variety of environments, especially in applications with strict requirements on safety and volume.

[0066] Common solid-state hydrogen storage alloy materials Rare earth hydrogen storage materials: such as LaNi5 (lanthanum nickel five alloy), the hydrogen storage density of this type of material is generally between 1.4% and 1.8%, and hydrogen can be charged and discharged at room temperature, and commercial applications have been achieved. Titanium hydrogen storage materials: such as TiMn2 (titanium manganese alloy), also have the ability to charge and discharge hydrogen at room temperature, and the hydrogen storage density is similar to that of rare earth series. Magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials: such as MgH2 (magnesium hydride), the hydrogen storage density of this material can reach up to 7.6%, but it needs to be effectively charged and discharged at a high temperature of more than 300°C. It has the advantages of high hydrogen storage capacity and abundant resources and low cost. Composite hydrogen storage materials: In order to improve the performance of a single material, such as increasing the hydrogen storage rate and reducing the operating temperature, researchers have also developed a variety of composite hydrogen storage materials, such as adding catalysts to magnesium-based materials or mixing them with other materials.

[0067] In some embodiments, the solid hydrogen storage alloy material includes one or more of lanthanum nickel series, iron titanium series and magnesium hydride.

[0068] In some of the embodiments, a gas-liquid separator 500 is also connected to the second reaction chamber 200 , and the gas-liquid separator 500 performs gas-liquid separation on the hydrogen generated in the second reaction chamber 200 , collects the separated condensed water into a water storage tank, and the separated hydrogen enters the fuel cell 20 .

[0069] In some of the embodiments, it should be noted that the first reaction chamber 100 and the second reaction chamber 200 may share a gas-liquid separator 500 , or may have separate gas-liquid separators 500 .

[0070] An embodiment of the present application further provides a fuel cell 20 .

[0071] A fuel cell 20 includes the composite hydrogen storage device 10 . The first reaction chamber 100 and the second reaction chamber 200 of the composite hydrogen storage device 10 are respectively connected to the fuel cell 20 to provide a hydrogen source for the fuel cell 20 .

[0073] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0074] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
