Catalytic Storage Systems of Chemically Bound Hydrogen.

The state of the art of research and development in the field of systems of accumulation, storage, transportation, and generation of hydrogen was considered. The basic requirements for hydrogen storage systems for both mobile and stationary applications were formulated. An analysis was made of systems of hydrogen accumulation, storage, and release based on physical (liquefaction and compression), physicochemical (using metal hydrides and adsorption materials), and chemical types of hydrogen interaction with the storage medium. A comparative thermodynamic and kinetic study was performed of the dehydrogenation of polycyclic naphthenes on promoted Pt-supported catalysts. The physicochemical processes of the formation of highly selective active phases of hydrogenation–dehydrogenation catalysts were considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
