Small Particles –> High Surface Area –> Higher Hydrogen wt%
But higher gravimetric density –> lower volumetric density
See 7/31
Gravimetric density above 5.5%
Volumetric density above 40g/L
Use 77K for Liquid Nitrogen.

MgH2 Ball Milling to 20nm
Leads to smaller grain size and more grain boundaries. Hydrogen goes in (and comes out) much quicker and at lower temperature.
Smaller size ball milling leads to agglomoration.
See 6/53
Also Niemann (with Catalyst) and Hanada over 5% H wt%

Weight of energy storage systems to take a car 500 km.
Compressed 700bar:
6kg (170L) Hydrogen; 125kg (260L) system
Compared with ICE:
33kg, 37L fuel
43kg (46L) System
Compared with Lithium
540kg(360L) “fuel” - batteries
830kg(670L) System

Weights and Volumes. ICE Fuel system considerably smaller.
Energy Usage in 2050
About 200TWh from Hydrogen

PEM Membrane example
Nafion
PEM Fuel Cell - Catalyst functions
- Gas transmission and distribution to electrolyte boundary layer
- Electric current flow
- Water (moisture) extraction/transport
Maybe some Oxygen related activity

Shirasaki 2009
SMR methods
- Desulpherise
- Add Steam
- Add Heat - Reformer
- Shift Conversion (remove water)
- PSA Pressure Swing Adsorption - purification
Reforming: CH4 + H2O –> 3H2 + CO (880 °C)
Water Gas Shift: CO + H2O <–> CO2 + H2 (~ 300 °C)
880 = 10 Back to the Futures
300 = Battle of Badr?

Pressure Swing Adsorption
Passing a gas mixture through a high surface area adsorbent with the ability to adsorb impurity gases
Easily adsorbed to non adsorbed
(eg C3H6) – CO, CH4 – O2 – H2
