Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a high-pressure hydrogen storage container, in particular to a high-pressure solid-state hydrogen storage bottle. Background Art
[0002] Under normal conditions, hydrogen exists in gaseous form. It is colorless, odorless, flammable and explosive, which brings great difficulties to the storage and transportation of hydrogen.
[0003] The most mature hydrogen storage method is high-pressure gas hydrogen storage, which is currently the main method of on-board hydrogen storage. Most of them are 20 MPa, which has very high requirements for containers. There are bottlenecks such as low hydrogen storage and transportation capacity and short transportation distance.
[0004] In addition to the above-mentioned high-pressure gas hydrogen storage method, there is also a low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage method. The low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage method compresses hydrogen and places it in a low-temperature environment to make it liquid. The liquefaction temperature of hydrogen is -253°C. In order to keep hydrogen liquid, it must have excellent insulation protection, and the volume and weight of the insulation layer are often equivalent to the hydrogen storage capacity. In addition, this storage method is easy to volatilize, and the energy consumption and cost are very high.
[0005] In addition, there are organic hydrogen storage methods and solid-state hydrogen storage methods. The organic hydrogen storage method has low hydrogen purity and requires synthesis and cracking. Compared with high-pressure gas hydrogen storage methods and low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage methods, the solid-state hydrogen storage method has a high hydrogen storage capacity and does not require high-pressure or insulated containers. Solid-state hydrogen storage materials mainly include hydrogen storage alloys, nanomaterials, and graphene materials. Although solid-state hydrogen storage has the advantages of high hydrogen storage density, good safety, and high hydrogen purity, the technology is complex, the cost of precious metals is high, and the overall device is heavy, and it has not yet been used on a large scale.
