Development and performance test of a miniature movable mixed-refrigerant liquid nitrogen generator

In order to cover long-term but small quantity liquid nitrogen requirements of laboratory or field users, a miniature movable mixed-refrigerant liquid nitrogen generator (MRLN) was developed and tested here, based on a precooled mixed-refrigerant J-T (MRJT) refrigerator. With the full air-cooled, skid-mounted structure, this MRLN was built utilizing off-the-shelf refrigeration components like commercial single-stage oil-lubricated compressors to reduce construction cost greatly. Bottled pure N₂, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit and mini cryogenic rectification column could be employed to supply N₂ in different operation modes respectively. In pure N₂ mode, N₂ was directly liquefied by the MRJT refrigerator. With feed N₂ at 0.8 MPa, the specific power consumption (SPC) was 1.79 kWh L⁻¹, and figure of merit (FOM) was 6.27%. The estimated SPC in PSA mode was 2.68 kWh L⁻¹. For column mode, the SPC was 4.59 kWh L⁻¹, with FOM of 3.38%. A closed N₂ cycle could convey cooling capacity between flammable refrigerant and air. This MRLN could be a convenient and low-costing choice for some liquid nitrogen users.     

An operational high temperature thermal energy storage system using magnesium iron hydride

Metal hydrides have been demonstrated as energy storage materials for thermal battery applications. This is due to the high energy density associated with the reversible thermochemical reaction between metals and hydrogen. Magnesium iron hydride (Mg₂FeH₆) is one such material that has been identified as a thermal energy storage material due to its reversible hydrogenation reaction at temperatures between 400 and 600 °C. This study demonstates an automated thermal battery prototype containing 900 g of Mg₂FeH₆ as the thermal energy storage material with pressurised water acting as the heat transfer fluid to charge and discharge the battery. The operating conditions of the system were optimised by assessing the ideal operating temperature, flow rate of the heat transfer fluid, and hydrogen pressures. Overall, excellent cyclic energy storage reversibility was demonstrated between 410 and 450 °C with a maximum energy capacity of 1650 kJ which is 87% of the theoretical value (1890 kJ).     

Highly durable,Pt free and large-area Ni–B film synthesized by SILAR as a bifunctional electrode for electrochemical water splitting

A search for efficient, durable, large-area, and economic catalyst material for low-cost production of hydrogen and oxygen is currently a high priority in the field of electrocatalysis (EC). In view of this, a cost-effective, earth abundant, highly stable, Pt free, and large-area (8 cm × 8 cm) bifunctional Ni–B electrocatalyst is reported via simple and economic SILAR method. A highly porous surface of Ni–B film with high surface wettability indicated better electrochemical water-splitting properties for the films and is obtained at 100 cycles. A Low over-potential value to obtain HER (49 mV) and OER (340 mV) at 10 mA/cm² current suggested that they are comparable to the well-known Pt and RuO electrodes in alkaline medium (1M KOH), respectively. In actual water-splitting setup having Ni–B film (as cathode) and stainless steel (as anode), the hydrogen production of 612 ml/h is obtained at constant potential, which was enhanced by 18% i.e., 726 ml/h when a Ni–B film as both cathode and anode electrode was used. Both the electrodes are highly stable for over 15 days and interestingly they showed 7% increment in the EC performance.
