Title:
ADVANCED ELECTROLYTIC STORAGE AND RECOVERY OF HYDROGEN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/010519
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
An apparatus for storing hydrogen as protons and electrons separately. The apparatus comprises a DC power supply; a proton generation and hydrogen recovery unit comprising a hydrogen tank adapted to contain hydrogen gas under pressure and in contact with one or more electrodes contained in the tank, the one or more electrodes in electrical connection with the DC power supply; and an electron storage unit for storing electrons, the electron storage unit in electrical connection with the DC power supply and separated from the proton generation and hydrogen recovery unit. In a proton generation mode the DC power supply is configured to catalyze oxidation of pressurized hydrogen in the hydrogen tank at the one or more electrodes to form and store protons on or near the one or more electrodes in the hydrogen tank and store generated electrons in the electron storage unit. In a hydrogen recovery mode the hydrogen protons on the one or more electrodes are converted to hydrogen under vacuum by recovering the electrons from the capacitor and adding these to the hydrogen protons, under condition for the hydrogen to leave a surface of the one or more electrodes as soon as it is formed and exits the hydrogen tank.
