[0002] At present, the production mode of hydrogen mainly includes water electrolysis hydrogen production, methane conversion hydrogen production and coal pyrolysis hydrogen production. Water electrolysis hydrogen production is a clean zero-carbon hydrogen production mode, but its cost is high and economicity is poor; the cost of methane conversion hydrogen production and coal pyrolysis hydrogen production is low, and economicity is good, but it has carbon emission and is not friendly to the environment.

Although high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage has been widely used in industrial and transportation fields, its equipment manufacturing cost is high, and safety problem is often the focus. Liquid hydrogen storage is stored at high density, but due to the extremely low temperature required for cooling and continuous thermal management control, this technology faces significant energy loss and high cost problems. Solid metal hydrogen storage uses magnesium-based metal as a carrier to store hydrogen by chemical adsorption, although it avoids the need for high-pressure hydrogen storage and low-temperature cooling, but this technology faces significant problems of high raw material cost, high energy consumption at high temperature and poor reversibility.

[0020] The low-temperature adsorption tank 8 comprises a tank body and a porous carbon layer.
[0021] The low-temperature adsorption cylinder 9 comprises a cylinder body and a porous carbon layer.
[0022] The low-temperature adsorption tank 8 and the low-temperature adsorption cylinder 9 are internally provided with the porous carbon layer, the micropore aperture of the porous carbon layer is 1-2 nm, the pore specific surface is 3000 m2 / g, the hydrogen molecule has strong adsorption capacity, and high-density hydrogen storage can be realized under a relatively low temperature and pressure environment.

[0026] The working mode of the present application is as follows: the liquefied natural gas (0.63 MPa, -162 DEG C) from the liquefied natural gas storage tank 1 enters the liquid methane channel of the cold energy recovery device 2 and exchanges cold energy with the hydrogen in the gaseous hydrogen channel to become gaseous normal temperature methane (0.620 MPa, 20 DEG C). The gaseous normal temperature methane enters the heater 3 and is heated to 600 DEG C, and then enters the inside of the methane cracking furnace 4 to produce carbon nanomaterials and hydrogen under the catalysis of the catalyst. The hydrogen and the uncracked methane mixed gas are discharged from the top of the methane cracking furnace 4, enter the heater 3 and exchange heat with the gaseous normal temperature methane, and then the cracking tail gas (0.61 MPa, 30 DEG C) after heat recovery and cooling enters the separator 5 to separate hydrogen and methane, the hydrogen-containing methane analysis gas is compressed by the analysis gas compressor 6 and sent back to the heater 3 for heating, and the high-purity hydrogen (0.60 MPa, 30 DEG C) after separation and purification is compressed by the hydrogen compressor 7.
