Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen safety, and particularly relates to a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder protection device with the functions of eliminating and monitoring leaked hydrogen. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen, as a zero-carbon energy source with a high energy density, is regarded as an ideal future energy source. However, the special physical properties of hydrogen make it exist in gaseous form during production, storage, transportation, filling, and use processes. Especially during the storage and transportation process, high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders are used as carriers. At the same time, various physical and chemical properties of hydrogen itself, such as low ignition energy (0.019 mJ), large explosion limit range (4% - 75%), and high combustion heat, etc., result in faster leakage and combustion speeds of hydrogen compared to other combustibles. Therefore, once a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder leaks, it will cause great harm. In summary, solving the leakage risk of high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders during use is one of the key technologies indispensable for the large-scale application of hydrogen energy in daily life in the future.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for treating waste hydrogen are dilution method, hydrogen-oxygen combustion method, and catalytic recombination method. Once a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder leaks, it is often in a high-speed jet state, releasing a large amount of hydrogen in a short time. This requires the device for eliminating the leakage of high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders to have the ability to immediately treat a large amount of hydrogen. Some invention patents for treating waste hydrogen have been reported previously. For example, invention patents CN101409353B and CN103474685A dilute hydrogen in a large amount of air to below the explosion limit and then discharge it into the atmosphere. It is found that although hydrogen itself is not a greenhouse gas, the reaction of hydrogen in the atmosphere can change the abundance of greenhouse gases. Therefore, this kind of dilution method will also cause environmental problems. Invention patent ZL201610936892.5 uses the catalytic combustion method to directly burn and eliminate the leaked hydrogen, but the combustion method is prone to cause a chain reaction and get out of control when treating leaked hydrogen, with the risk of explosion. In summary, the catalytic hydrogen-oxygen recombination method is currently the most ideal method for eliminating leaked hydrogen. And the probability of leakage of the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder itself during use is extremely small. The occurrence of leakage events is often caused by external force collision and extrusion, resulting in the rupture of the hydrogen storage cylinder body and then the leakage of internal hydrogen. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a device that can effectively protect the body of the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder in case of a collision accident and has the ability to effectively eliminate the leaked hydrogen once a serious accident leads to a leakage event.

[0004] To address the above problems, this patent uses lightweight aluminum alloy material to prepare a high-pressure hydrogen storage bottle protection device with the functions of eliminating and monitoring leaked hydrogen. Its double-layer hollow perforated aluminum alloy protective shell and internal support plate are lightweight and have a buffering effect, which can effectively protect the internal high-pressure hydrogen storage bottle in case of a collision accident; at the same time, a colloidal solution hydrogen elimination catalyst with two-dimensional material MXene as the carrier is developed. This catalyst can be coated on the inner part of the double-layer hollow protective shell by spraying or painting, with simple and convenient operation and excellent hydrogen elimination performance, so that leaked hydrogen can be eliminated even in case of a major accident, further ensuring the safety of the hydrogen storage bottle. This invention is a further expansion and improvement based on the inventor's prior application. The name of the prior application is: High-pressure hydrogen bottle protection shell based on the hydrogen elimination function of a wire mesh reactor, and the application number is 2022103990262.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0034] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it according to the description in the specification.

[0035] It should be understood that the terms such as "having", "comprising", and "including" used in this patent do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or their combinations.

[0036] As Figure 2-4 shown, the present invention provides a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder protection device with the functions of eliminating and monitoring leaked hydrogen, including a double-layer hollow perforated protective shell 4 and internal support plates, a hydrogen detector 2 installed inside the protective shell, and a high-efficiency hydrogen-consuming catalyst coating coated on the inner surface of the inner layer of the protective shell and the surface of the support plates; the internal support plates include horizontally arranged horizontal support plates 7 and vertically arranged vertical support plates 11 that are staggered to enhance the structural strength of the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell 4.

[0037] Both the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell 4 and the internal support plates are made of lightweight aluminum alloy plates and are perforated at equal intervals to achieve the effects of weight reduction and increased buffering; as shown in the figure, the inner layer of the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell is provided with inner aluminum alloy plate holes 5, and the outer layer is provided with outer aluminum alloy plate holes 10.

[0038] The housing of the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell 4 uses hinge combinations, so it has an opening and closing function. Specifically, a connecting hinge 3 is provided on one side of the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell 4, and a fixed buckle 9 is provided on the other side to realize the opening and closing combined structure of the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell.

[0039] A connection protection port 13 is reserved at the top to facilitate the connection between the outlet of the hydrogen cylinder and the external connection; three cylinder fixing devices 6 are arranged inside the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell 4 to fix the hydrogen cylinder inside the protection device firmly and stably; when in use, open the protection device and place the high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder in the cavity of the protective shell, that is, in the cylinder fixing space 12, and then close the protection device and fix it tightly with a buckle.

[0040] The present invention is provided with 1 alarm 1 and 6 hydrogen detectors 2. The hydrogen detectors 2 are distributed and installed inside the protective shell, 2 are installed at the middle position of the cylinder body, 2 are installed at the upper position of the cylinder body, and 2 are installed inside the protective shell of the bottle mouth, and are connected to the alarm 1 through wires;

[0041] The alarm is powered by a battery and installed on the top of the protection device and a layer of protective shell is installed on the periphery. Once the alarm receives the signal transmitted by the hydrogen detector, it triggers an alarm.

[0042] The high-efficiency hydrogen-consuming catalyst coating is loaded on the inner surfaces of the perforated lightweight aluminum alloy protective shell and the support plate by spraying or painting. In the present invention, the inner surface of the inner layer of the protective shell and the surface of the internal support plate are both coated with the Pt / MXene hydrogen-consuming catalyst to eliminate the hydrogen that may leak.

[0043] Other media can also be filled in the interlayer of the double-layer hollow perforated protective shell 4, including but not limited to high-porosity media such as foam plastics and foam metals, to increase the protection ability for the internal cylinder.

[0044] The method for manufacturing the high-efficiency hydrogen-consuming catalyst coating coated on the inner surfaces of the double-layer protective shell and the support plate includes the following steps:

[0045] Step (1), take an appropriate amount of LiF-etched multi-layer MXene (Ti3C2) two-dimensional material and put it into a beaker, and add deionized water and stir evenly;

[0046] Step (2), put the beaker into an ultrasonic cleaner and ultrasonicate for 5 minutes to separate the MXene material from a multi-layer structure into a single-layer structure;

[0047] Step (3), take out the MXene material after ultrasound and put it into a container to prepare an aqueous solution and place it on a stirring table, control the temperature to 80°C, add the active component H2PtCl6·6H2O (the amount added is calculated based on the Pt loading of 2.5wt% in the final product) under stirring (800rpm), and then add a dispersant PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) with a molecular weight of 10000, and the amount added is 0.2wt% of the total mass of the slurry at this time, and then stir the solution evenly;

[0048] Step (4), adding a strong reducing agent NaBH4 to the stirring solution, the added amount being NaBH4:H2PtCl6·6H2O=1:5 (note: a large amount of gas will be generated after the addition of sodium borohydride, and the container should be kept open to prevent explosion), and then mixing and stirring the solution for 2 hours to fully reduce the Pt in the solution;

[0049] Step (5), the reduced solution is divided into centrifuge tubes and placed in a centrifuge to remove impurities. The centrifugation parameters are 8000rpm and the time is 10min. After centrifugation, the catalyst in the solution is at the bottom layer, and the upper layer is a clear liquid. The upper layer liquid is poured out and re-added with deionized water. After shaking, it is placed in a centrifuge again. Repeat three times to remove excess impurities in the catalyst. In this way, the catalyst is successfully prepared and retained for future use;

[0050] Step (6), add the prepared catalyst back into deionized water and shake and stir evenly. Because the solution of MXene dissolved in water is in the form of colloid, it has adhesion ability. The viscosity of the colloid solution can be adjusted by spraying or painting it on the wall of the reactor. After natural drying, a catalyst coating with high efficiency in dehydrogenation ability is formed.

[0051] The function of the dispersant in step (3) is to evenly disperse the active components on the surface of the two-dimensional material to increase the catalytic performance. The function of the reducing agent in step (4) is to completely reduce the active metal in the precursor dispersed on the surface of the two-dimensional material into a metal element, thereby having catalytic activity.

[0052] The invention uses a lightweight aluminum alloy material to make a high-pressure hydrogen storage bottle protection device with the function of eliminating and monitoring hydrogen leakage. Its double-layer hollow porous structure design is lightweight and has an impact-resistant effect. Even if a serious accident causes hydrogen leakage, the two-dimensional material MXene hydrogen elimination catalyst coated inside can also effectively eliminate the leaked hydrogen to ensure the safety of hydrogen use.

[0053] In order to facilitate testing of the hydrogen removal effect of the product of the present invention, two groups of hydrogen removal performance tests were designed under different reaction conditions to simulate hydrogen leakage.

[0054] Example 1

[0056] Add 0.5 g of two-dimensional material MXene to 140 ml of deionized water, stir evenly, and then sonicate for 5 min. Subsequently, place the sonicated solution on an oil bath stirring table, set the temperature to 80 °C and the rotation speed to 800 rpm, add 20 ml of H2PtCl6·6H2O solution and 20 mg of PVP dispersant with a molecular weight of 10,000. After stirring for 10 min, add 100 mg of NaBH4 reducing agent, and stir and react for 2 hours while keeping the opening state. After the reaction is completed, let the solution stand at room temperature for 30 min, and then load it into a centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 10 min. After centrifugation, pour off the supernatant and retain the catalyst at the bottom. Then add deionized water, shake evenly, and centrifuge repeatedly three times to ensure that all impurities are removed. Finally, place the centrifuge tube in an oven and dry it at 60 °C for 2 hours. After the catalyst is completely dry, scrape out the catalyst and grind it into powder, and finally conduct the hydrogen elimination performance test.

The experimental results are as Figure 1 .

Finally, add the washed catalyst to deionized water, shake evenly, and use a soft brush to coat it on the surface of the perforated aluminum alloy to simulate the high-pressure hydrogen storage tank protection device of this invention patent. After the catalyst is completely dry, conduct the hydrogen elimination performance test.

The reaction temperature is 313 K, and the space velocity is set at 10000 ml g -1 h -1 , and a polytetrafluoroethylene tube is used to directly blow the hydrogen-oxygen mixture onto the surface of the perforated aluminum alloy plate coated with the hydrogen-consuming catalyst to simulate the leakage state of a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder.

Within 150 min of the reaction, the hydrogen concentration at the reactor outlet is maintained below 700 ppm, the hydrogen conversion rate is above 96%, and the hydrogen-consuming performance is excellent and stable. The experimental results are as Figure 1 .

[0064] As described above, the present invention patent uses a lightweight aluminum alloy material to prepare a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder protection device with the functions of eliminating and monitoring leaked hydrogen. The structure adopts a double-layer hollow and perforated design, and internal support plates are used for connection, which not only reduces the weight but also increases the buffering effect, and can effectively protect the internal high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder when a collision accident occurs. At the same time, other protective materials can be filled inside the double-layer hollow shell to achieve the best protection effect. Secondly, the hydrogen detectors and alarms distributed and installed inside the double-layer hollow protective shell can detect leakage and trigger an alarm in the first time.

[0065] The present invention also develops a colloidal solution hydrogen-consuming catalyst with a two-dimensional material MXene as the carrier. The colloidal solution catalyst can be coated inside the double-layer hollow protective shell by spraying or painting. Compared with the traditional coating process, the catalyst coating method is simple and efficient, and the catalytic hydrogen-consuming performance is excellent. The colloidal catalyst proposed by the present invention is significantly different from the prior art. The colloidal catalyst of the present invention is convenient for spraying or painting on the carrier. Not only is the catalyst coating method simpler and more convenient, but also the coating is more uniform. The Pt dispersion performance in the catalyst is better and the specific surface area is larger, which improves the adsorption effect of the catalyst on the leaked hydrogen. In the prior art, for example, the applicant's prior application with the name: High-pressure hydrogen cylinder protection shell based on the hydrogen-consuming function of a wire mesh reactor, application number: 2022103990262, requires a carrier to load the catalyst, and then the carrier is filled into the protective shell, and the process is complex.

[0066] The catalyst can also be used in other hydrogen source occasions, such as nuclear power plants, hydrogen refueling stations, etc., and is coated on the inner wall of the site. When an accident occurs, it can effectively eliminate the leaked hydrogen and avoid explosion incidents.

[0067] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the preparation of a high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder protection device with the functions of eliminating and monitoring hydrogen leakage according to the present invention is simple. The double-layer hollow perforated aluminum alloy plate is light in weight and has a buffering effect against impact, with excellent protection performance. In addition, the developed colloidal Pt / MXene hydrogen elimination catalyst coating has a simple preparation process and can be easily coated inside the protection device or other equipment and places prone to hydrogen leakage, showing great potential in ensuring hydrogen energy safety.

[0068] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily made.
