Title:
HYDROGEN FUEL CONVERTER PROVIDED WITH PHOTOCATALYST AND METHOD FOR PREPARING HYDROGEN FROM METHANOL USING PHOTOCATALYST
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/204200
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a hydrogen fuel converter including: a photocatalyst; a vessel which can receive an organic compound in a liquid state and in which a hydrogen generating reaction through photooxidative dehydrogenation occurs from the organic compound; and an outlet for hydrogen fuel. Also, the present invention provides a method for preparing hydrogen comprising generating hydrogen from an organic compound at a desired time point or in a desired amount by performing or terminating a hydrogen forming reaction through light irradiation or light occlusion in the presence of a photocatalyst. Further, the present invention provides a method for preparing hydrogen from a compound selected from the group consisting of methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, and a mixture thereof in the presence of a photocatalyst into which a promoter is deposited, wherein: the photocatalyst forms electrons when exposed to photo energy; and the promoter assists in hydrogen (H2) generation by reducing hydrogen ions (H+) using the electrons formed by the photocatalyst. In the method, it is preferable that the reaction is performed through photo-irradiation under an inert gas atmosphere or an anaerobic atmosphere.
