Hydrogen storage system using ethylenediamine bisborane solution
The granted patent US12037242B2 presents a hydrogen storage system that utilizes a solution of ethylenediamine bisborane (EDAB) and ethylenediamine (ED). This system is designed to facilitate a dehydrogenation/hydrogenation reaction, enabling the extraction of hydrogen through a dehydrogenation process at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 200°C. The reaction is catalyzed by a heterogeneous metal catalyst, which can include metals such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, platinum, nickel, iron, cobalt, or combinations thereof. Additionally, the system is capable of regenerating EDAB by reacting the products of the dehydrogenation with a reducing agent and water.
The patent further specifies that the hydrogen storage system can perform reversible dehydrogenation/hydrogenation reactions at room temperature. It highlights the use of platinum as a preferred catalyst, particularly in the form of Pt/C, with a catalyst content ranging from 1 to 10 mol%. The solution may also include various solvents such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, methyl chloride, n-hexane, and dimethyl ether. The molar ratio of EDAB to ED in the solution can vary from 1:1 to 1:10, and the system is designed to achieve a hydrogen production rate of three equivalents or more per mole of EDAB during the dehydrogenation reaction. Furthermore, the patent claims the applicability of this hydrogen storage system in vehicles, indicating its potential use in transportation technologies.
