Throughput Synthesis Screening Novel Hydrogen

项目摘要

We wish to discover solids that act as highly efficient reservoirs to store - and release - hydrogen gas, for use in fuel cell (hydrogen) vehicles. Currently, there are no solids that will fulfil all the stringent requirements / including requirements for a high storage capacity and low temperature absorption and release of hydrogen gas / for hydrogen stores in mobile applications. Since the choice of potential materials is so bewildering, we must reduce the number elements that may be components in our solids We do this by only using elements that are light enough to give us an efficient hydrogen store. Even when we only consider the light elements of the periodic table, for example elements that weigh less than calcium, there are still very many families and compositions that remain / especially if you consider that very small amounts of heavier elements may be necessary to act as catalysts in our stores. To counteract this surfeit of choice we aim to use theoretical and modelling studies to identify in advance promising hydrogen storage materials families. These materials families will then be produced - and characterized - through the use of innovative high throughput thin film techniques. Combinations of structural and hydrogen absorption characterization will allow us to identify the most effective compositions within each family. Once a composition has been identified we aim to determine whether we can produce the material in larger quantities and / most importantly / whether it retains its key hydrogen storage properties. To do this we will develop methods to synthesize, thoroughly characterize and optimize gram scale quantities of the most promising compositions. These studies will provide essential information allowing us to refine our theoretical and modelling studies, and thus optimize our research pathways and identify new families of materials. They also provide a vital stepping stone to the development of processes for materials synthesis at a scale required for commercial exploitation. Once candidate compositions have been fully tested / and after a full project review to determine the success of our method / we will, in collaboration with our industrial partners, begin the synthesis, characterization and testing of materials on an industrial scale, with a view to commercial exploitation of our hydrogen stores.

我们希望发现能够作为高效储层来储存和释放氢气的固体，用于燃料电池（氢）汽车。目前，没有任何固体能够满足移动应用中氢气储存的所有严格要求/包括高存储容量和低温吸收和释放氢气的要求。由于潜在材料的选择如此令人眼花缭乱，我们必须减少可能成为固体成分的元素数量。为此，我们仅使用足够轻的元素来为我们提供有效的氢储存。即使我们只考虑元素周期表中的轻元素，例如重量小于钙的元素，仍然存在很多族和成分/特别是如果您认为可能需要极少量的重元素来充当我们商店的催化剂。为了抵消这种过多的选择，我们的目标是利用理论和模型研究来提前确定有前途的储氢材料系列。然后，将通过使用创新的高通量薄膜技术来生产和表征这些材料系列。结构和氢吸收表征的结合将使我们能够确定每个家族中最有效的组合物。一旦确定了成分，我们的目标是确定是否可以大量生产该材料，以及/最重要的是/它是否保留其关键的储氢特性。为此，我们将开发方法来合成、彻底表征和优化最有前途的成分的克级数量。这些研究将提供必要的信息，使我们能够完善我们的理论和建模研究，从而优化我们的研究途径并确定新的材料系列。它们还为开发商业开发所需规模的材料合成工艺提供了重要的垫脚石。一旦候选组合物经过全面测试/并且经过全面的项目审查以确定我们的方法是否成功/我们将与我们的工业合作伙伴合作，开始在工业规模上合成、表征和测试材料，以期我们的氢气储存库的商业开发。
