HOT article: full-scale hydrogen-storage tank

28 Jun 2011

Read this ‘HOT article’ from Faraday Discussion 151: Hydrogen Storage Materials

Designing and building a full scale hydrogen storage system revealed several engineering challenges and also demonstrated the capabilities of complex hydrides. 3kg of hydrogen was stored in a four module system using modified sodium alanate as the storage media. Extensive testing of this system demonstrated the ability to follow aggressive hydrogen demand schedules that simulate actual driving. Extensive use of detailed models greatly improved the design and eventual performance of the storage system; the test data permitted further refinement of the models.

HOT article: Eco-friendly canal boat using alternative energy technologies

28 Jun 2011

Read this ‘HOT article’ from Faraday Discussion 151: Hydrogen Storage Materials

This Faraday Discussions paper features a project which converted a diesel-powered British Waterways canal boat into a new and improved eco-friendly vessel, eliminating water, noise, and air pollution.

Scientists from the University of Birmingham and Empa, Switzerland used a combination of new energy technologies on the canal boat; solid-state hydrogen storage, a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell, lead-acid battery pack and a high-efficiency, permanent magnet (NdFeB) electric motor.

This project showed how new generation energy materials which are currently being developed can have real life applications… from canal boats to buses and cars!

There is a growing conviction that the only real prospect for our long-term energy provision relies on the ability to collect and store sunlight in the form of chemical potential. The need for alternative fuels and reduction of excess carbon dioxide left over from our era of fossil fuel consumption, focuses the attention on the design of effective artificial photosynthetic systems. This is a growing global problem and it will soon become the dominant scientific issue.

Applying new knowledge to old problems: FD155 will focus on possible solutions to long-standing problems in the development of artificial synthesis. This topical and important area of science covers many disciplines. The combination of biology, chemistry, physics and theory makes for an exciting blend of discussion points.

Themes

• Electronic energy transfer
• Fuel production / carbon dioxide reduction
• Oxygen evolution
• Integrated photo-systems
• Electron transfer

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are currently the focus of an intense research effort because of their remarkable potential for applications coupled to favourable environmental properties. The hybrid organic-ionic nature of RTILs and the resulting interplay between different intermolecular forces give rise to a complex phenomenology whose decoding requires the close integration of experimental, theoretical and computational methods.

Ionic liquids constitute a new and exciting playground for interdisciplinary research and this meeting will discuss fundamental experimental and theoretical aspects of the physical chemistry of RTILs. The Scientific Committee will be chaired by Professor Chris Hardacre (Queen’s University Belfast, UK).
