Electrospinning of porous composite materials for hydrogen storage application
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Due to the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the production of environmentally harmful by-products such as carbon dioxide, there is an urgent need for alternate sustainable clean energy. One of the leading ...
Hydrogen storage in Ti-based coatings and Ti6Al4V alloy
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Hydrogen has been regarded as an ideal energy carrier for future, it can be stored as a liquid in cryogenic tanks, a gas in high pressure cylinders and as solid in metal hydrides. Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides is of ...
Advanced materials on the basis of nanostructured catalysed magnesium hydride for hydrogen storage
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Magnesium hydride has long been regarded as a promising candidate for lightweight hydrogen storage applications, owing to reasonably high theoretical capacity (7.6 wt. %). It is burdened by slow absorption/desorption ...
Hydrogen storage capacity of the Ti-Pd multilayer systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Hydrogen has high energy density and it is regarded as the future energy carrier. Hydrogen can be stored as a gas in high-pressure cylinders, as a liquid in cryogenic tanks and as a solid in metal hydrides. The storage of ...
Fabrication of metal-organic frameworks with application-specific properties for hydrogen storage application
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
The application of porous materials into industrial hydrogen (H2) storage systems is based on
their use in combination with high-pressure cylinders. The processing of metal-organic
frameworks (MOF) powders into shaped ...
Hydrogen generation by hydrolysis of magnesium and aluminium alloys and their hydrides
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
This study presents the successful characterization and hydrolysis of
magnesium hydride (MgH2) for hydrogen generation. The as-received MgH2
served as a precursor in most of the hydrolysis experiments for H2 generation. ...
Synthesis and characterization of ion implanted Pd/Ti/V/Pd/Ti based multilayer thin films using rutherford backscattering spectrometry (rbs) and elastic recoil detection analysis (erda) for hydrogen storage application
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Hydrogen is regarded as an attractive, pollution-free energy carrier for future energy systems,
supported by its efficient energy conversion. Still, the challenge is its storage and transportation.
Hydrogen can either ...
