Abstract

Sodium alanate has been studied as a promising candidate material for reversible hydrogen storage due to its intermediate temperature range and relatively high storage capacity. Its rates of desorption and absorption of hydrogen have been shown to be enhanced by the addition of Ti in various compounds. To date, the sorption kinetics, especially absorption kinetics, is not well understood. In this study, a practical sorption kinetics model for TiCl3 catalyzed NaAlH4 has been developed to assist in the engineering design and evaluation of a prototype hydrogen storage system.
