Complex and liquid hydrides for energy storage

Elsa Callini, Ping Chen

The research on complex hydrides for hydrogen storage was initiated by the discovery of Ti as a hydrogen sorption catalyst in NaAlH4 by Boris Bogdanovic in 1996. A large number of new complex hydride materials in various forms and combinations have been sy ...

A Functional Model of [Fe]-Hydrogenase

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich, Tao Xu, Simona Mazza

[Fe]-Hydrogenase catalyzes the hydrogenation of a biological substrate via the heterolytic splitting of molecular hydrogen. While many synthetic models of [Fe]-hydrogenase have been prepared, none yet are capable of activating H-2 on their own. Here, we re ...

Quantitative aqueous phase formic acid dehydrogenation using iron(II) based catalysts

Gabor Laurenczy, Andrew Francis Dalebrook, Mickael Montandon-Clerc

We present here the results of our investigation on aqueous phase formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation using non-noble metal based pre-catalysts. This required the synthesis of m-trisulfonated-tris[2-(diphe nylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine sodium salt (PP3TS) as a ...

Redox flow battery and indirect water electrolysis

Véronique Amstutz

The progressive integration of renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and photovoltaic pannels in the current electrical network, and the rise of the electrical mobility, provoke a change of paradigm in the sector of energy management. The increasi ...

Hydrogen Storage in the Carbon Dioxide - Formic Acid Cycle

Gabor Laurenczy, Cornel Fink, Mickael Montandon-Clerc

This year Mankind will release about 39 Gt carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere, where it acts as a greenhouse gas. The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide into useful products becomes increasingly important, as the CO2 concentration in the atm ...

Storage of Renewable Energy by Reduction of CO2 with Hydrogen

Philippe Mauron, Shunsuke Kato, Elsa Callini, Marco Roman Holzer, Jianmei Huang

The main difference between the past energy economy during the industrialization period which was mainly based on mining of fossil fuels, e.g. coal, oil and methane and the future energy economy based on renewable energy is the requirement for storage of t ...

Storing Renewable Energy in the Hydrogen Cycle

Shunsuke Kato, Elsa Callini

An energy economy based on renewable energy requires massive energy storage, approx. half of the annual energy consumption. Therefore, the production of a synthetic energy carrier, e.g. hydrogen, is necessary. The hydrogen cycle, i.e. production of hydroge ...

Exergy and environmental comparison of the end use of vehicle fuels: The Brazilian case

In this work, a comparative exergy and environmental analysis of the vehicle fuel end use is presented. This analysis comprises petroleum and natural gas derivatives (including hydrogen), biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel), and their mixtures, besides of the ...

Closing the pressure gap in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy by membrane hydrogenation

Comprehensive studies of gas-solid reactions require the in-situ interaction of the gas at a pressure beyond the operating pressure of ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The recent progress of near ambient pressure XPS allows to ...

Surface Reactions are Crucial for Energy Storage

Philippe Mauron, Shunsuke Kato, Elsa Callini

Reactions between gas molecules, e.g. H-2 and CO2 and solids take place at the surface. The electronic states and the local geometry of the atomic arrangement determine the energy of the adsorbate, i.e. the initial molecule and the transition state. Here w ...
