| Abstract Scope |
Mass hydrogen storage could become a challenge for the hydrogen economy since even when in highly pressurised containers or in its liquid form hydrogen (a) has limited volumetric capacity; (b) poses significant safety risks; (c) could become non-viable economically and (d) leads to considerable energy losses, especially for long duration energy storage. Metal hydrides are a promising alternative for mass hydrogen storage due to their high volumetric storage capacity, chemical stability, low operating pressure and minimal energy losses.
Depleted uranium represents an efficient chemical hydrogen storage material yielding twice the volumetric capacity to that of H2 in its liquid form. DU is also a very abundant and mildly-radioactive waste material from fuel manufacturing.
In this work a novel, custom-made bed system is designed and presented. The bed design is expected to facilitate in fast adsorption/desorption kinetics of H2 using DU as the metal hydride, forming this way an hydrogen battery. |
