Summary: This paper proposes a cryo-compressed hydrogen storage method to meet the storage requirements of fuel cell vehicles and enhance the storage density of hydrogen. The analysis of a cryo-compressed hydrogen storage vessel reveals that the thickness of carbon fiber increases and the performance of the storage vessel decreases at cryogenic conditions. The main influence of low temperature on the cryo-compressed vessel is concentrated on the hoop stress of helical winding and the axial stress of hoop winding.

Summary: Compared to steel, glass has higher strength and lower density, which makes it a suitable pressure resistant vessel for hydrogen storage. However, glass is prone to break under locally concentrated stress. In this study, the stress-strain behavior of portable hydrogen storage vessels made of glass fiber tubes was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The effects of different glass materials, wall thickness, and pressure on the strength of the microtubes were analyzed. Additionally, methods such as filling triangular gaps and adding solid fiberglass borders were proposed to reduce stress concentration and improve performance.

Summary: The distribution of Young's modulus in functionally graded materials was investigated to reduce stress concentration. An evolutionary optimization algorithm was developed to control the Young's modulus evolution process. Finite element analysis was used to verify the effectiveness of the Young's modulus design in reducing stress concentration.

Summary: This paper aims to develop a methodology for the optimal design of hybrid storage micro-grids based on renewables and hydrogen, and to define an optimal management strategy in a perspective of hydrogen employment as seasonal storage. An optimization code is applied to a case study and determines the optimal sizes of the integrated electrolyzer and fuel cell, maximizing the storage efficiency. The developed optimization routine resulted in the introduction of specific components for the hydrogen section, enabling a significant production of hydrogen for seasonal storage.

Summary: In this study, a progressive failure model is established for the burst of a hydrogen storage composite pressure vessel (CPV). The CPV's burst pressure and progressive damage behavior are analyzed, and surrogate models are created using kriging and response surface methods. The reliability and optimization design of the CPV are then analyzed using hybrid random-fuzzy uncertainties. The study shows that the CPV's hoop layer is the main load-bearing structure and that the response surface model is more computationally efficient for reliability analysis and optimization design. Increasing the longitudinal tensile strength, hoop layer thickness, and helical layer thickness improves the reliability of the CPV.

Summary: The use of shared vehicle architectures with BEVs offers a high potential for cost reduction in FCEVs. This study focuses on investigating the efficiency of a type I box-shaped pressure vessel for storing hydrogen. By reinforcing the vessel wall with fiber reinforced composite, the efficiency can be improved. The optimal design parameters derived from numerical analysis allow for comparison and evaluation of this vessel concept with other pressure vessel types.

Summary: This paper investigates the assessment of leak tightness for pressurized hydrogen storage tanks, specifically for composite laminates. Three different homogenization methods are compared to obtain effective permeation coefficients. The Hashin-Shtrikman bounds method proves to be the most satisfactory. The effect of inter-fiber cracks is also examined to further evaluate leak tightness.

Summary: Composite materials are commonly used for designing lightweight structures due to their high specific strength and stiffness, but the anisotropy of composites can lead to complex failure mechanisms. Existing design guidelines are difficult to enforce, often requiring post-repair to meet requirements. The authors propose a deterministic repair procedure with a success rate of over 88% and fast computational speed.

Summary: The study found that the three designed BCC multicomponent alloys exhibited high hydrogen absorption capacity at room temperature, forming FCC hydrides with high absorption capabilities. All three alloys showed a two-step hydrogenation sequence, indicating the formation of an intermediate BCC monohydride before the formation of the FCC dihydride. Additionally, the three alloys had similar values of enthalpy and entropy of hydrogenation, suggesting consistency in thermodynamic properties.

Summary: In this study, a numerical model is applied to explore the formation mechanisms of a chemical bath deposition and rebuilt the structural evolution of precipitation films during this process. It was found that the pyramid-like surface morphology could be transferred into a four-fold symmetry mountain-like surface morphology by the preferred growth orientation. These numerical simulations provide a favorable tool for the technological developments of chemical bath deposition.
