Investigation of Material Composition on the Hydrolysis Property of Al-Based Composites
摘要
Hydrogen generation from the Aluminum-water reaction is a promising technology, offering potential advantages for on-demand hydrogen supply. In this study, the activation of aluminum via high-energy ball milling with Ga, In, Bi2O2, and SnCl2 facilitates hydrogen production. The effect of composition on the hydrolysis behavior of Al-based composites was investigated using a controlled-variable approach. The results show that material composition have a significant effect on the hydrolysis property. Al-based composites exhibit a volcano-type relationship in hydrolysis property, where both hydrogen production yield and reaction rate increase to composition-dependent maxima before decreasing beyond optimal additive composition. In addition, the potential application of hydrogen, produced via the aluminum-water reaction, in PEMFCs was also discussed.
