This study examined the effect of environmental variables, such as the NaOH concentration and solution temperature, on the rate of hydrogen generation from NaOH solutions through the corrosion of used aluminum cans as a potential candidate material for the safe and economic production of hydrogen. Corrosion of the used aluminum cans was promoted by increasing the NaOH concentration and solution temperature because of the loss of aluminum passivity. The measured rate of hydrogen generation from the NaOH solutions increased with increasing NaOH concentration due to the catalytic activity of NaOH in the hydrolysis process. However, at higher solution temperatures, the rate of hydrogen generation rate was less affected by the NaOH concentration than that at lower temperature.

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, hydrogen energy is in the spotlight. There is a difficulty in commercialization due to the lack of hydrogen infrastructure. Therefore, a lot of hydrogen should be imported and a method using ammonia is the most useful. In this study, using the mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen generated when ammonia is decomposed, the hydrogen separation performance is to be tested. Hydrogen was separated using an electrochemical hydrogen compressor based on a fuel cell and the experiment was conducted by changing the ratio of hydrogen and nitrogen. In addition, the performance was also compared by the difference both the pressure and the membrane.

Hydrogen was generated by the reaction of metal hydride with water. The variation of hydrogen generation with the kind of powders (milled $MgH_2$, and $MgH_2$ milled with various contents of MgO, $MgCl_2$ or $Ni+Nb_2O_5$) was investigated. $MgH_2$ powder with a hydrogen content of 6.05 wt% from Aldrich Company was used. Hydrogen is generated by the reaction of Mg as well as $MgH_2$ with water, resulting in the formation of byproduct $Mg(OH)_2$. For about 5 min of reaction time, milled $95%MgH_2+5%MgO$ has the highest hydrogen generation rate among milled $MgH_2+x%MgO$ (x=0, 5, 10, 15 and 20) samples. Milled $90%MgH_2+10%MgCl_2$ has the highest hydrogen generation rate among all the samples.

Efforts are continuing to change from fossil fuels used to hydrogen energy society. In order to become a hydrogen society, stable production and real-life applicability are important. As a result, hydrogen generation system linked to fuel cell are being developed. Through this, it is expected that production to power generation will be possible where desired by utilizing the existing urban gas piping network. Hydrogen generation system and hydrogen fuel cell have been subjected to risk assessment and have already been commercialized, but no risk assessment has been conducted on the integrated system linking them. Therefore, it is intended to secure its safety by conducting a risk analysis on the integrated system.

A transient model for hydrogen generation in molten metal-water interactions was developed with separate models for two stages of coarse mixing and stratification. The model selves the mechanistic equations (heat and mass transfer correlation, heat conduction equation and the concentration diffusion equation) of each stage with non-zero boundary conditions. Using this model, numerical simulations were performed for single droplet experiments in the Argonne National Laboratory tests and for FITS tests that simulated dynamic fragmentation and stratification. The calculation results of hydrogen generation showed better agreement to the experiment data than those of previous works. It was found from the analyses that the steam concentration to be reached at the reaction front might be the main constraint to the extent of the metal droplet oxidized. Also, the hydrogen generation rate in the coarse mixing stage was the higher than that in the stratification stage. The particle size was the most important factor in the coarse mixing stage to predict the amount of hydrogen generation.

Co-B, Co-P-B, Co-Ni-B and Co-Ni-P-B catalysts supported on Ni foam were prepared using electroless plating in the present study. The surface morphology of the catalysts/Ni foam was observed using SEM and EDS analysis. The Co-Ni-P-B/Ni foam catalyst showed the superior performance on hydrogen generation due to the uniform formation of catalyst particles on the Ni foam surface. The characteristics of hydrogen generation with Co-Ni-P-B/Ni foam catalyst was investigated at the variety of $NaBH_4$ and NaOH concentrations. Durability test was performed, resulting in the stable hydrogen generation for 6 hours.

We demonstrate that trasition metal catalyst nanoparticle (NP) attached to carbon nitride nanotubes (CNNTs) show selective catalytic activities on hydrogen generation from the water solution including chemical hydride negative ions. The natural bonding orbitals (NBO) obtained from the first-principle calculations shows that the catalysts attached on CNNTs are quite differently polarized when they play for hydrogen generation from chemical hydride ions and hydrogen of water. For Co and Ni nanoparticles attached on CNNTs, their charges are more positively polarized when they interact with $BH_4^-Na^+$ and $H_2O$ while Pt atoms are less positively charged. In this matter, the increased positive charges on catlyst nanoparticles are proven to be more efficient in attracting hydride negative ions, thus improving hydrogen generate rates. Consequently, this result implies that these different charge polarization leads to selective catalytic activities of NPs-CNNTs. In the hydrogen generation experiments, Co-CNNTs shows the highest hydrogen generation rate when the similar amounts of catalyst nanoparticles (Co, Ni, and Pt) are dispersed on the sidewalls of CNNTs.

To find a suitable metal component in oxygen carrier particles for chemical-looping hydrogen generation system(CLH), oxygen transfer capacities of metal components were compared and Ni has been selected as the best metal component. The proper operating conditions to achieve high hydrogen generation rate have been investigated based on the chemical-equilibrium composition analysis for water splitting reactor. Moreover, suitable compositions of syngas from gasifier of heavy residue to achieve high energy efficiency have been investigated by calculation of heat of reaction. Based on the selected operating conditions, the best configuration of two interconnected fluidized beds system for the chemical-looping hydrogen generator has been investigated as well.

One-dimensional nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes could be ideal templates for formation of metallic nanoparticles. Furthermore, bimetallic component nanoparticles have recently been interesting issues for having high catalytic activity. This work provides both a facile method to synthesize bimetallic catalysts via N atoms of carbon nanotubes and also a picture about how to design the optimal bimetallic catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrogen storage material. In principle, the ratio of one component to another component could be generically extended to fabricate the high-performance bimetallic catalysts on host nanostructures. Indeed, we demonstrate that the bimetallic catalyst composed of the optimum composition results in the excellent hydrogen generation property from an aqueous borane ammonia solution, thus being capable of satisfying the Depart of Energy in USA target required for many advanced applications even with the small amount of our bimetallic catalysts attached onto the N-doped carbon nanotubes. This high hydrogen generation rate is found to be attributed to the optimal distance between active Pt and cheap Ni atoms for effective hydrogen generation.
