STUDY OF THE HYDROGEN BATTERY WITH FILLING CARBON NANOTUBES

The article deals with the safe design of the hydrogen storage tank, which includes a set of cylindrical metal containers made of stainless steel 12Х18Н10Т filled with carbon nanotubes; a cooling jacket made of liquid nitrogen in the likeness of a Dewar vessel into which metal containers with carbon nanotubes (SWNT) are dipped and filled with gaseous hydrogen; a system of valves and high-pressure pipelines. The safety of hydrogen storage is ensured by the high strength and toughness of steel at low temperatures, from which metal storage tanks of hydrogen are made. The main advantage of such accumulator tank scheme is safety in case of mechanical damages: when any object is inserted into a storage tank, the liquid nitrogen cooling jacket is damaged first, the inner wall of which is made of thin gauge stainless steel, the outer wall is made of aluminum alloy and the main energy of the impact is expended. The article analyzes the scheme of the experiment and shows the results of the study of hydrogen storage at a liquid nitrogen temperature: hydrogen under high pressure of 15 MPa is pumped into a pre-cooled accumulator tank completely filled with SWNTs. Further operations are cutting off the storage tank from the mains with a shut-off valve; cutting off the cylinder with hydrogen from the pipeline supplying; the opening of a drain valve for bleeding hydrogen; heating the storage tank to the normal temperature; bleeding of sorbed hydrogen and measuring its volume. Hydrogen at the temperature of liquid nitrogen is confirmed to be retained by the SWNT in the accumulator tank, and at normal temperature to be released. The Nobel Laureate of R. Smalley first determined this in the 20th century. The article presents the data of microscopic (Phenom Pro microscope) and sorption studies of SWNT conglomerates of scaly structure.
