Title:
HYDROGEN-BASED ECOSYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001039289
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A complete infrastructure system for the generation (32), storage (34) transportation (35), and delivery (36) of hydrogen which makes a hydrogen ecosystem possible. The infrastructure system utilizes high capacity, low cost, light weight thermal hydrogen storage alloy materials (42) having fast kinetics. Also, a novel hydrogen storage bed design which includes a support/heat-transfer component (41) which is made from a highly porous, high thermal conductivity, solid material such as a high thermal conductivity graphitic foam. Finally a material including at least one particle having atomically engineered local chemical and electronic environments, characterized in that the local environments providing bulk nucleation.
