Abstract
A method of and apparatus for efficient on-demand production of H2 and O2 from water and heat using environmentally safe metals are disclosed. In one aspect, the apparatus for hydrogen generation through water-decomposition reaction includes a main reactor, an oxidizer reactor, and a computer-control system. The computer system is configured to control each of the components of the hydrogen gas production system for stable hydrogen-gas production.
Claims26
A method of maintaining a performance of an electric-catalytic-hydrolysis system comprising:
- a. preparing the electric-catalytic-hydrolysis system comprising a reactor core and an oxidizer reactor, wherein a basic solution is maintained within the reactor core and contains a hydrogen generating catalyst, wherein the hydrogen generating catalyst contains an aluminum complex, a copper complex, and a silver complex;
- b. optimizing hydrogen production by maintaining a pH value of the basic solution in the reactor core below 9.5;
- and
- c. regenerating the silver complex by photolysis utilizing a light providing device within the oxidizer reactor.
