2050년까지 탄소중립 사회구현을 위한 방안을 모색하기 위한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 이에 수소도시 실현을 통한 화석연료와 탄소배출을 줄이는 방법들이 주목받고 있다. 그린수소가스의 생산 및 운송, 저장과 가스형태의 수소를 액화 수소로 압축시키는데 드는 막대한 에너지가 소비되는 문제점에 대한 대안책으로 암모니아를 캐리어로 이용하여 운송 및 저장하고 수소를 생산하는 방식이 널리 이용되고 있으며, 효율 향상을 위한 추가 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 또한, 중국에 대한 우리나라의 요소수 수입 의존도가 높음에 따라 요소수 주요성분인 암모니아와 탄산가스를 합성한 요소수 생산 방식에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 현재 산업계에서 석탄과 같은 석유자원에서부터 암모니아를 추출하는 방식이 가장 널리 적용되고 있다. 이와 같은 암모니아 생산에 대한 석유자원 의존도를 낮추기 위한 방안에 대한 도출 및 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 이와 같은 상황에 맞춰 본 연구에서는 생활하수로부터 암모니아를 추출하는 방법으로서 통합형 막증류 시스템에 연구하고자 한다. 분뇨, 음식물 폐기물 침출수 등 유기성 폐기물의 수집, 운송 및 처리에서 발생되는 생활하수에는 암모니아성 질소 및 탄소가 다량 포함되어 있어 이를 추출하여 순수한 암모니아 생산에 대해 석유자원을 대체할 수 있는 대안으로서의 효용성을 갖고 있다. 하지만, 이와같은 생활하수는 암모니아성 질소 이외 성분들이 고농도로 포함되어 있어 암모니아 생산에 대한 원료만을 선택적으로 분리하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 생활하수에서 암모니아를 선택적으로 분리하는 방법으로서 막증류(Membrane Distillation, MD) 기반의 통합 암모니아 분리기술을 개발하고 이에 대한 적용 가능성과 효율 향상에 대해 평가 하였다. 또한, 암모니아와 탄산가스 합성을 통한 요소수 생산 방법에 대한 연구를 진행하였다.

Electrochemical hydrogenation/dehydrogenation properties were studied for a single particle of a Mm-based(Mm : minh metal) hydrogen storage alloy($MmNi_{3.55}Co_{0.75}Mn_{0.4}Al_{0.3}$) for fuel cell and Ni-MH batteries. A carbon fiber microelectrode was manipulated to make electrical contact with an alloy particle, and the potential-step experiment was carried out to determine the apparent chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen atom($D_{app}$) in the alloy. Since the alloy particle we used here was a dense, conductive sphere, the spherical diffusion model was employed for data analysis. $D_{app}$ was found to vary the order between $10^{-9}\;and\;10^{-10}[cm^2/s]$ over the course of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation process. Compared with the conventional composite film electrodes, the single particle measurements using the microelectrode gave more detailed, true information about the hydrogen storage alloy.

Hydrogen is one of energy storage systems, which could be transfer from electric energy to chemical energy or from chemical energy to electric energy, and is as an energy carrier. Water electrolysis is being investigating as one of the hydrogen production methods. Recently, water electrolysis receive attention for the element technology in PTG (power to gas) and PTL (power to liquid) system. In this paper, it was explained the principle and type for the water electrolysis, and recent research review for the alkaline water electrolysis.

In this study, a compact hydrogen liquefaction system was constructed with the aim of creating a data storage and monitoring program for liquid hydrogen production. This program was designed to receive and record signals from diverse control equipment through the LabVIEW software. A range of measurement instruments were devised to collect data, encompassing variables such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, and liquid level. As a result, it was possible to directly check the production of liquid hydrogen by obtaining various data of condensed liquid hydrogen. In addition, it was confirmed that long-term storage of liquid hydrogen is possible by developing automatic ON/OFF through the LabVIEW program.

In recent years, it is very important that hydrogen storage system is safe for user in any circumstances in case of crash and fire. Because the hydrogen vehicle usually carry high pressurized cylinders, it is necessary to do safety design for fire. The Global Technical Regulation (GTR) has been enacted for localized and engulfing fire test. High pressure hydrogen storage system of fuel cell electrical vehicles are equipped with Thermal Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) installed in pressured tank cylinder to prevent the explosion of the tank during a fire. TPRDs are safety devices that perceive a fire and release gas in the pressure tank cylinder before it is exploded. In this paper, we observed the localized and engulfing behavior of tank safety, regarding the difference of size and types of the tanks in accordance with GTR.

An air-independent propulsion (AIP) system based on fuel cell technologies was developed for space and underwater applications in the present study. Hydrogen peroxide was selected as an oxidizer for space and underwater power applications where air independence is a must. Catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was used to generate oxygen and water. The pure oxygen was provided to a fuel cell and the water was stored separately. Sodium borohydride in the solid state was used as a hydrogen source in the present study. Pure hydrogen can be generated by a catalytic hydrolysis reaction. A fuel cell system was fabricated to validate the fuel cell based air-independent power system and was evaluated at the various conditions.

Metal hydride based hydrogen storage under moderate temperature and pressure gives the safety advantage over the gas and liquid storage methods. Still solid-state hydrogen storage including metal hydride is below the DOE target level for automotive applications, but it can be adapted to stationary or miliary application reasonably. In order to develop a modular solid state hydrogen storage system that can be applied to a distributed power supply system composed of renewable energy - water electrolysis - fuel cell, the heat transfer and hydrogen storage characteristics of the metal hydride necessary for the module system design were investigated using AB5 type metal hydride, LCN2 ($La_{0.9}Ce_{0.1}Ni_5$). The planetary high energy mill (PHEM) treatment of LCN2 confirmed the initial hydrogen storage activation and hydrogen storage capacity through surface modification of LCN2 material. Expanded natural graphite (ENG) addition to LCN2, and compression molding at 500 atm improved the thermal conductivity of the solid hydrogen storage material.

Recently, hydrogen has gained considerable attention as an eco-friendly fuel, which helps in reducing carbon dioxide content. Specifically, there is a growing interest in vehicles powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which is spotlighted as an environmental-friendly alternative. A hydrogen transport system, fuel cell system, fuel supply system, power management system, and hydrogen storage system are key parts of a hydrogen fuel cell truck. In this study, a hydrogen storage system is built and analyzed. The expansion length of the storage vessel at maximum operating pressure (87.5 MPa) was calculated with ABAQUS, and then the optimized system was designed and built. The leak and bubble tests were performed on the built storage system. The leakage of the system was measured to be under 5 cc/hr. Hence, it can be used as a research test for the safety evaluation of leading systems of hydrogen fuel-powered commercial vehicles.

Fuel cell power system was developed for high-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Liquid chemical hydride was selected as a fuel due to its high energy density. Liquid storage of the fuel is an ideal alternative solution of the existing compressed hydrogen storage. The fueling system that extracts hydrogen from chemical hydride consists of catalytic reactor, micro-pump, fuel cartridge, separator, and controller. The fuel cell power system including the fueling system and the fuel cell that generates electricity was integrated into a proposed UAV. The performance verification of the fuel cell power system was performed to use as a power plant of the UAV.
