Project introduction:
A high-tech and innovative company in the Netherlands has long developed high-performance customized catalysts for hydrogen storage and green fuel synthesis.
Hydrogen is an element in the universe, so it is difficult to store it physically. It involves high pressure or low temperature, which is expensive and unsafe. Therefore, chemical hydrogen storage on liquid medium is beneficial. In addition, it greatly reduces the need for infrastructure changes.
The company has long developed and synthesized catalysts for LOHC applications. Liquid organic hydrogen carrier LOHC is used as a medium for chemical storage of hydrogen. Hydrogen can be effectively stored and released by catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation.
● Fuel cell catalyst
Catalyst with extended life and durability. The design and production of our catalysts for fuel cells and electrolyzers are highly dispersed, so their leaching in the electrochemical reaction process is small. Due to the high dispersibility, we can reduce the content of precious metals in the catalyst. We provide various noble metal loads and their combinations on conductive carbon.
● Hydrogen storage
Low concentration hydroxide and active catalyst for hydrogen storage applications. Chemical hydrogen storage on LOHC involves hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. Many traditional catalysts lose their activity due to metal leaching, agglomeration and low dispersion on porous carriers. Challengingly, the dehydrogenation reaction is slow because it is sensitive to the surface structure of the catalyst.
● Non-precious metal catalyst
It is an ideal way to realize sustainable development to produce clean fuels such as hydrogen directly from water splitting reaction by using solar energy. The company's composite materials adopt single or binary metal oxide formula and are produced by green synthesis method, which has fine nanostructure, higher efficiency and selectivity.
