Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for managing hydrogen storage and release, utilizing hydrogen carrier fluid (HCF) and undivided electrochemical reactors (i.e. not containing ion exchange membranes) to achieve hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of HCF.
Claims13
A system for managing hydrogen storage and release, the system comprising:
- an undivided electrochemical hydrogenation reactor (H-reactor) configured to receive a hydrogen lean carrier fluid (lean-HCF) and hydrogen gas,
- the H-reactor comprising an anode for electrochemically oxidizing the hydrogen to generate protons and electrons, and a cathode for hydrogenating the lean-HCF with the generated protons and electrons to form a hydrogen rich carrier fluid (rich-HCF);
- and
- a transfer system for transferring the rich-HCF from the H-reactor to a site of use.

A system for managing hydrogen production and storage, the system comprising:
- an undivided electrochemical dehydrogenation reactor (D-reactor) configured to receive a hydrogen rich carrier fluid (rich-HCF),
- the reactor comprising an anode for electrochemically dehydrogenating/oxidizing the rich-HCF to produce a hydrogen lean carrier fluid (lean-HCF), protons and electrons, and an cathode to generate hydrogen gas from the generated protons and electrons;
- and
- a transfer system for transferring the lean-HCF from the D-reactor to a site of use.
