Title: Mechanochemical solid/liquid reaction in formation of alane

Other Related Research

Abstract

Methods for forming alane are described. The method drives the alane producing chemical reaction by a mechanical energy source such as a ball mill and includes stabilization of the product with solvent. At least one of the reactants is insoluble in the solvent. Thus, the product is both stabilized and phase-separated from the reactant(s) immediately upon formation. The method can be used to form .alpha.-alane, for instance for use in hydrogen storage.

Complex Hydride Compounds with Enhanced Hydrogen Storage Capacity

Technical Report Mosher, Daniel A ; Opalka, Susanne M ; Tang, Xia ; ...

The United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), in collaboration with major partners Albemarle Corporation (Albemarle) and the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL), conducted research to discover new hydride materials for the storage of hydrogen having on-board reversibility and a target gravimetric capacity of ≥ 7.5 weight percent (wt %). When integrated into a system with a reasonable efficiency of 60% (mass of hydride / total mass), this target material would produce a system gravimetric capacity of ≥ 4.5 wt %, consistent with the DOE 2007 target. The approach established for the project combined first principles modeling (FPM - UTRC) with multiplemore »« less

Dynamic in-situ X-ray Diffraction of Catalyzed Alanates

Conference Gross, K J ; Sandrock, G ; Thomas, G J

The discovery that hydrogen can be reversible absorbed and desorbed from NaAlH{sub 4} by the addition of catalysts has created an entirely new prospect for lightweight hydrogen storage. NaAlH{sub 4} releases hydrogen through the following set of decomposition reactions: NaAlH{sub 4} {r_arrow} 1/3({alpha}-Na{sub 3}AlH{sub 6}) + 2/3Al + H{sub 2} {r_arrow} NaH + Al + 3/2H{sub 2}. These decomposition reactions as well as the reverse recombination reactions were directly observed using time-resolved in-situ x-ray powder diffraction. These measurements were performed under conditions similar to those found in PEM fuel cell operations (hydrogen absorption: 50--70 C, 10--15 bar Hz, hydrogen resorption:more »« less

ENVIRONMENTAL REACTIVITY OF SOLID-STATE HYDROGEN SYSTEMS: FUNDAMENTAL TESTING AND EVALUATION

Journal Article James, C ; Cortes-Concepcion, J ; Anton, D ; ... - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy

In order to enable the commercial acceptance of solid state hydrogen storage materials and systems it is important to understand the risks associated with the environmental exposure of various materials. In some instances, these materials are sensitive to the environment surrounding the material and the behavior is unique and independent to each material. The development of testing procedures to evaluate a material's behavior with different environmental exposures is a critical need. In some cases material modifications may be needed in order to reduce the risk of environmental exposure. We have redesigned two standardized UN tests for clarity and exactness; themore »« less

Mechanochemical synthesis of alane

Patent Gupta, Shalabh ; Pecharsky, Vitalij K. ; Kobayashi, Takeshi ; ...

In some examples, a method of forming alane (AlH3), the method comprising reacting one of: 1) a MAlH4, wherein M is an alkali metal; 2) alkali-metal hydride, MH; or 3) alkali-metal with one or more aluminum halides (AlX3, where X is a halogen), via a mechanochemical process, to form the alane, wherein the reaction is substantially solvent free and carried out in an environment with a temperature between approximately 250 K and approximately 330 K.
