From August 26, 2019 to October 31, 2019
The development of hydrogen as a new energy carrier requires to store it under acceptable energeticand safety conditions, particularly in the context of large-scale, long-term stationary storage of electricity converted by electrolysis into hydrogen. Different types of hydrogen storageexist: storage in conventional reservoirs (in gaseous or liquid state) and storage in solids (as anadsorbed, absorbed or trapped phase). None of these techniques is, to date, totally satisfactory for the intended application. The objective of this thesis is to propose, characterize and test under field conditions two innovative hybrid materials for the storage of hydrogen.Each of this hybrid material containsa phase-change material (complex metal hydride or organic molecular crystal) confined within a porous matrix (carbon xerogel) having a double porosity. The phase change materials will be inserted into the storage nanoporosity so that they can capture hydrogen under acceptable temperature and pressure conditions by shifting the thermodynamic equilibria. The transport of hydrogen to the storage porosity will be ensured by the transport porosity, which will promote the kinetics of capture / release.
