Hydrogen offers a promising alternative for supplying clean and sustainable
energy to meet increasing demands worldwide. However, materials are key to transforming
the technology into a viable industry. Materials for the Hydrogen Economy describes
the technical challenges and the current efforts in developing materials possessing
the properties required for handling each stage of the hydrogen fuel chain.
Thorough coverage offers newcomers as well as experienced engineers and researchers
a reliable and fully scalable foundation in this field.
This book covers all seven of the current hydrogen production methods, as well
as distribution, storage, and utilization technologies, particularly fuel cells.
It details the chemical reactions, processes, types of feedstock, and commercial
equipment involved in hydrogen production. It also covers methods, membranes,
liners, and sensors used for separating, sealing, and purifying hydrogen. Several
chapters examine corrosion effects in pipeline steels and other storage and
transportation vessels, leading to discussions of hydrogen permeation barriers,
barrier coatings, and hydrides for on-board hydrogen storage. The final chapters
focus on electrolytes and component materials for solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs)
and H2/O2 PEM fuel cells.
Materials for the Hydrogen Economy provides a broad review of material requirements
for handling hydrogen from production to market. It explores the development
of these materials alongside essential considerations and issues associated
with their deployment.
