Development of Fuel Cell Vehicle System Using an Organic Hydride Microreactor
Organic hydrides are expected to serve as hydrogen carriers in future applications because they have the high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen density needed for storing and transporting hydrogen. An efficient microreactor using a dehydrogenation catalyst is needed to generate hydrogen from the organic hydride. We developed the high-performance dehydrogenation catalyst with an anodic oxide film on aluminum. Using a microreactor composed of the proposed catalyst, we succeeded in supplying enough pure H2 to power a fuel cell system in response to a vehicle’s 10-15 driving mode. We also developed a new hybrid vehicle system composed of an engine and a fuel cell to improve the vehicle’s efficiency. The new hybrid vehicle system is an intermediate vehicle system between the gasoline hybrid electric vehicle and the high pressure H2 fuel cell vehicle.
