In this paper, NaBH4 is synthesized from NaBO2 and MgH2 under inert gas via ball milling, without applying high temperature or pressure. Developments in the recycling of NaBO2 will make NaBH4 usage more feasible. To obtain the optimum recycling conditions of NaBO2 with MgH2 via solid phase...

Investigations of alternative renewable energy resources continue, with many studies concentrating on hydrogen storage. However, there are a few problems such as storage, transportation, delivery to the user and usage safely, to be addressed to facilitate commercialization and wide usage of the...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of NaBH4 as hydrogen storage material and testing its hydrogen storage capacity in presence of catalyst. Synthesis of NaBH4 was investigated with NaH and trimethyl borate which was also produced in previous studies. Different reaction...

A wind-hydrogen hybrid system with carbon physisorption storage has been developed and implemented within a dynamic model-based software environment. Numerical simulations have been applied to synthetic and real data to evaluate its operations and performance over a 6-months period. Hydrogen is...

Mg–Ni multilayers and Ni-rich Mg thin films were deposited by electron gun and pulsed laser deposition, respectively. Samples were submitted to thermal treatment in deuterium or hydrogen atmosphere at 423K and ∼105Pa pressure to promote the metal to hydride phase transition.

Concentrating solar power plants represent a competitive option to produce electric power only if equipped with suitable thermal energy storage. Metal hydride material-based thermochemical hydrogen storage is a very attractive solution to store high temperature solar thermal energy. A literature...

In situ synthesis of Pd nanoparticles supported on multiwalled CNT (carbon nanotubes) is reported. The size of the nanoparticles can be easily tuned via application of different experimental conditions. The hydrogen storage properties of Pd supported on CNT at room temperature were examined in...

The development of new practical hydrogen storage materials with high volumetric and gravimetric hydrogen densities is necessary to implement fuel cell technology for both mobile and stationary applications. NaBH₄, owing to its low cost and high hydrogen density (10.6 wt%), has received...

It is now widely recognized that the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is due to the consumption of fossil fuels since the beginning of the 20th century. In this context, research on new energies and their development on a large scale is a priority. Hydrogen is a potential candidate...

In this paper, we investigate the economic viability of hydrogen storage for excess electricity produced in wind power plants. For the analysis, we define two scenarios (50MW system with and without re-electrification unit) and apply Monte Carlo simulation and real options analysis (ROA) to...
