For hydrogen generation from aqueous alkilne $NaBH_4$ solution, Co-B catalyst was prepared by chemical reduction method using $NaBH_4$ as a reduction chemical. Effects of solution temperature, amount of catalyst loading, $NaBH_4$ concentration, and NaOH (a base-stabilizer) concentration on the hydrogen generation rate were exmanined. Compared to Ru catalyst generally used, the low-cost Co-B catalyst exhibited almost comparable activity to the hydrogen generation reaction.

연료전지 무인기 탑재용 수소발생기의 온도환경변화에 따른 성능평가를 수행하였다. 수소 저장 및 발생을 위해 화학수소화물 중 수소함량이 높고 저장성이 우수한 수소화붕소나트륨($NaBH_4$)을 연료로 사용하였으며, 촉매를 이용한 가수분해반응을 통해 수소를 발생하였다. 수소발생기의 온도환경변화를 위한 저온 및 고온 챔버를 각각 준비하였으며, 온도범위는 $-20^{\circ}C$에서 $60^{\circ}C$까지 $20^{\circ}C$의 간격으로 설정하였다. 20과 25wt.%의 $NaBH_4$ 용액 농도에서 수소발생기의 수소발생률과 반응기와 분리기의 온도변화를 측정하였다. 수소 발생률은 반응주기가 반복될수록 감소하였으며, 저온 환경에서는 높은 수소발생률을 보였지만, 고온 환경에서는 수소발생률이 급격히 감소하였다. 수소발생률의 감소는 촉매유실과 촉매표면의 $NaBO_2$ 도포가 원인으로 확인되었다.

This paper investigates a high performance converter topology for hydrogen gas generation electrolysis system. The proposed converter topology consists of full-bridge inverter, medium frequency transformer, and diode rectifier. Hydrogen gas generation electrolysis process considered in the paper is analyzed and characterized by its equivalent circuit. The electrolysis cell is modeled as effective resistance, capacitance, inductance, and internal emf voltage source. The proposed converter topology provides enhanced efficiency of hydrogen gas generation process under the operating condition of dc output voltage with high frequency ripple on it. The high performance operation of proposed converter is confirmed through the simulation with the electrolysis cell considered in the equivalent circuit model.

Interest in hydrogen productions that do not emit carbon dioxide and can produce hydrogen at a low price is increasing. Reforming and electrolysis are widely used, but they have limitations, such as carbon dioxide problems and costs. The methane can be decomposed as hydrogen and solid carbon without carbon dioxide emission at high temperatures. In this research, the methane pyrolysis experiment was conducted at 1,200℃ and 1,400℃ in a ceramic tube. The composition of the produced gas was measured by gas chromatography before carbon blocked the tube. The methane conversion rate and hydrogen selectivity were calculated based on the results. The hydrogen selectivity was derived as 60% and 55% at the highest point at 1,200℃ and 1,400℃, respectively. The produced solid carbon was expected to be carbon black and was analyzed using scanning electron microscope.

금속과 물의 혼합체에 전기방전을 야기시켜 수소를 제조하는 방법은 필요시에 즉시 수소를 제조할 수 있는 유용한 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법이 실제로 이용될 수 있기 위해서는 입력되는 전기에너지당 물과의 반응을 일으키는 금속의 양이 가능한한 큰 값을 가져야 한다. 이러한 에너지 효율을 높이기 위해서는 약한 전기방전이 화학반응을 지속시킬 수 있어야 된다. 이러한 효율에 직결되는 실험변수중에서 방전 전압-전류 곡선을 측정하여 토의하였다.

This paper is investigated about the effect of vibration of the water surface for hydrogen gas generation by non-thermal plasma. The vibration of the water surface is more powerful with increasing applied voltage. In this experimental reactor which is made of multi-needle and plate, the maximum acquired hydrogen production rate is about 6.8[ml/sec]. Although the generation of hydrogen gas is increased with elevating time, it is saturated after specific time due to the volume of reactor and the saturation of taylor cone.

Additives such as glycerol, methanol, acetone, and ethanol were used to prevent $NaBO_2$ from precipitation, and their effects on hydrogen generation properties of $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis were investigated. When the concentration of additives was 5 wt%, the additives such as methanol, acetone, and ethanol could not prevent $NaBO_2$ precipitation. Although glycerol prevented $NaBO_2$ precipitation, conversion efficiency decreased to 78.0% due to its viscosity. Based on test results, hydrogen generation tests were also performed at various concentration of glycerol and methanol to investigate the concentration effects on hydrogen generation properties. As the concentration of glycerol increased from 1 wt% to 3 wt%, conversion efficiency increased owing to additive effect. When its concentration increased to 5 wt%, conversion efficiency decreased due to its viscosity. As the concentration of methanol increased from 5 wt% to 10 wt%, conversion efficiency increased owing to additive effect. When its concentration increased to 15 wt%, conversion efficiency decreased due to $NaB(OCH_3)_4$ precipitate. Although conversion efficiency decreased about 1% when 3 wt% glycerol was added, $NaBO_2$ precipitation was prevented. Consequently, addition of 3 wt% glycerol to $NaBH_4$ solution improves stability of hydrogen generation system.

무인기 운용 환경을 고려하여 다양한 조성의 $NaBH_4$ 용액을 사용해 수소발생시스템의 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 먼저, 자발가수분해와 30분의 수소발생실험을 수행하였다. 수소의 손실, 안정한 수소 발생, $NaBO_2$의 석출, 전환 효율과 무인기의 운용을 고려하여 $NaBH_4$ 용액의 조성을 1 wt% NaOH + 25 wt% $NaBH_4$+74wt% $H_2O$로 결정하였다. 200 W급 연료전지 시스템을 위해 장시간 수소발생실험도 수행되었다. 비록 $NaBO_2$의 석출로 인해서 수소 발생률이 감소하였지만, 200 W 연료전지를 위한 수소를 3시간동안 발생(전환 효율: 87.4%)시켰다. 600 Wh의 에너지를 갖는 200 W급 연료전지 시스템의 에너지 밀도는 263 Wh/kg이었다. 기존 배터리 무인기에 비해 약 1.5배 이상의 체공 시간을 달성할 수 있다.

This study is focused on the channel design of bipolar plate in the electrode of hydrogen gas generator. The characteristics of hydrogen gas generation was studied in view of efficiency of hydrogen gas generation rate and a tendency of gas flow through the riv design of electrode. Since the flow rate and flow pattern of generated gas in the two phase flow system are the most crucial in determining the efficiency of hydrogen gas generator, we adopted the commercial analytical program of COMSOL MultiphysicsTM to calculate the theoretical flow rate of hydrogen gas from the outlet of gas generator and flow pattern of two phase fluid in the electrode. In this study, liquid electrolyte flows into the bipolar plate and decomposed into gas phase, two phase flow simulation is applied to measure the efficiency of hydrogen gas generation.

This study focuses on the performance of hydrogen energy based hybrid system in terms of system reliability of electricity generation. With this aim to evaluate the off-grid system of photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine, electrolyzer, fuelcell, $H_2$ tank and storage batteries, 14 different sites in South Korea are simulated using HOMER. Performance analysis includes simulation on the different sites, verification of operational behaviors on regional and seasonal basis, and comparison among a control group. The result shows that the generation performance of hydrogen powered fuelcell is greatly affected by geographical change rather than seasonal effect. In addition, as the latitude of the hybrid systems location decrease, renewable power output and penetration ratio (%) increase under constant electrical load. Therefore, the hydrogen based hybrid system creates the stability of electricity generation, which best suits in the southern part of South Korea.
