Summary: The high price of hydrogen fuel in the fuel cell vehicle refuelling market is determined by production costs and capital costs of refuelling station components. The dominant hydrogen storage technology uses high-pressure compressed tanks, but metal hydride storage shows potential for lower refuelling costs. However, storing more hydrogen in metal hydride tanks can lead to higher costs for consumers compared to compressed gas.

Summary: Metal hydride beds are essential components for handling and processing tritium gases in nuclear fusion machines. Korea has been focusing on developing metal hydride beds with robustness, reliability, and longevity. In this study, an improved uranium hydride bed was designed and an experimental bed was fabricated for investigating hydrogen and deuterium absorption characteristics. The experimental results will serve as the basis for the development of operation modes and performance references for uranium hydride beds in the fusion fuel cycle.

Summary: This study reports the bed poisoning characteristics of CO2 as a gaseous impurity in the La0.9Ce0.1Ni5 based Metal Hydride Hydrogen Purification System (MHHPS) and the regeneration of the poisoned bed. The experimental results show that the MHHPS is capable of delivering 99.99% pure hydrogen for CO2 impurities up to 20%, but for higher impurity levels (20-50%), the purity ranges from 97.3% to 99.8%. The absorption capacity of the MHHPS significantly decreases when CO2 is present as an impurity, ranging from 0.92 wt% to 0.67 wt% for impurities of 10-50%. However, through bed regeneration, the alloy can be regenerated and achieve a storage capacity of 1.27 wt% in 200 seconds within 2-3 regeneration cycles.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of charge/discharge cycles on the performance of a commercial automotive metal hydride hydrogen storage system in a fuel cell electric vehicle. A mathematical model is proposed based on uncertain physical parameters, and the variation of these parameters allows for an assessment of tank degradation. The results show that tank degradation can be predicted by developing laws of variation of these parameters as a function of the real conditions of FCEV use.

Summary: This study investigates the process parameters that affect the improvement of hydrogen storage material properties. The thermal conductivity of the storage materials has been improved to accelerate the hydrogen charge/discharge processes and obtain the required hydrogen at desired flow rates in a short time. The experimental results show that coating the storage material with copper increases heat transfer, reduces the hydrogen charging time, and improves stable discharge time in the metal hydride reactor.

Summary: The present study investigates the poisoning effect of CH4 as gaseous impurities in a La0.9Ce0.1Ni5 based Metal Hydride Hydrogen Purification System (MHHPS). The impurity level was varied between 10% and 50% by weight in the H-2 gas mixture, and cyclic tests were performed with 10% impurity. The system delivered 99.9995% pure hydrogen for 10-20% impure gas mixture. The cyclic study showed a decrease in hydrogen absorption for impurity levels between 50% and 90%. The regeneration of the poisoned Metal Hydride (MH) bed was more effective at desorption temperatures above 90 degrees C.
