METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN

摘要

Exemplary embodiments of methods and systems for hydrogen production using an electro-activated material are provided. In some exemplary embodiments, carbon can be electro-activated and used in a chemical reaction with water and a fuel, such as aluminum, to generate hydrogen. Controlling the temperature of the reaction, and the amounts of water, aluminum and electro-activated carbon can provide hydrogen on demand at a desired rate of hydrogen generation.

主权项

1. A method of producing a catalyst for hydrogen production, comprising:
placing a carbon material in a vessel; providing water within the vessel; and providing electrical current through the water to electro-activate the carbon material by modifying the surface of the carbon material in the water.
