Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for the storage of hydrogen comprising contacting a hydrogen storage composition with a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen; and irradiating the hydrogen storage composition with radio frequency radiation or microwave radiation in an amount effective to facilitate the absorption, adsorption and/or chemisorption of hydrogen into the hydrogen storage composition.
Claims34
A method for the storage of hydrogen comprising:
- contacting a hydrogen storage composition with a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen;
- and
- irradiating the hydrogen storage composition with radio frequency radiation or microwave radiation in an amount effective to facilitate the absorption, adsorption or chemisorption of hydrogen into the hydrogen storage composition.
A method for the storage and recovery of hydrogen comprising:
- contacting a hydrogen storage composition with a first gaseous mixture comprising a first concentration of hydrogen;
- irradiating the hydrogen storage composition with a radio frequency radiation or microwave radiation having a first frequency in an amount effective to facilitate the absorption, adsorption and/or chemisorption of hydrogen into the hydrogen storage composition;
- contacting the hydrogen storage composition with a second gaseous mixture comprising a second concentration of hydrogen;
- and
- irradiating the hydrogen storage composition with a radio frequency radiation or microwave radiation having a second frequency in an amount effective to facilitate the desorption of hydrogen from the hydrogen storage composition.
2 more elements
A system for the storage and recovery of hydrogen comprising:
- a hydrogen generation reactor, wherein the hydrogen generation reactor utilizes radio frequency radiation and/or microwave frequency radiation to recover hydrogen.
