2W power source based on air–hydrogen polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and water–aluminum hydrogen micro-generator

Hydrogen Generation by Treatment of Aluminium Metal with Aqueous Solutions: Procedures and Uses

“…Shkolnikov et al [67] presented a 2-W cell-phone consisting of a micro fuel cell and a micro generator for hydrogen based on the aluminium-water reaction. Each gramme of aluminium produces 1.2 -1.8 Wh of electrical energy.…”

Microstructure of Al–Li alloy and its hydrolysis as portable hydrogen source for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells

“…Aluminum corrosion in alkaline solution is based on the reaction of aluminum and water [4,6,7]. In the hydrolysis process of AleLi alloy in water, lithium reacted with water to produce LiOH and H 2 , as shown in Eq.…”

“…In addition, the cost can be further reduced because the hydrolysis byproduct Al(OH) 3 can be repeatedly recycled into aluminum using the Hall-Heroult process. However, obtaining hydrogen from aluminum in water has to be conducted via the catalytic effect of alkaline and other additives [3,4] because the alumina layer on the surface of Al and its alloys provides good stability in the pH range 5e9. Hydrogen production from aluminum in alkaline solution has been extensively studied.…”

Hydrogen Generation from Aluminum Corrosion in Aqueous Solutions

“…Water is abundance on earth and is the most promising resource for hydrogen. Generates of H 2 from the oxidation of aluminum (Al) in aqueous solution is one of the alternatives (1). The overall reaction is given by equation [1].…”
