Background
The hydrogen energy is used as a new energy source mode with bright prospect, and the existing energy storage technologies such as lithium ion batteries and the like can be replaced by virtue of the advantages of high energy density, cleanness, no pollution and the like.
The large-scale utilization of hydrogen energy faces more challenges, and the main hydrogen storage modes at present have various disadvantages. Such as: the high-pressure gas hydrogen storage has wide application and low cost, but the hydrogen charging and discharging needs a high-pressure environment and has potential safety hazards; the metal hydride is safe and stable in hydrogen storage and low in pressure, but the mass of the metal hydride is large, and the hydrogen charging and discharging process is limited by heat transfer capacity, so that the metal hydride is not suitable for being applied to the field of mobile traffic; the low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage has higher energy density, is a hot spot technology in the aerospace field, but has high cost and complex technology, and is difficult to store hydrogen for a long time.
The organic liquid hydrogen storage technology has high energy density, is safe and stable, is convenient for large-scale long-distance transportation, and is an important point for the development of hydrogen energy in the future. The organic liquid hydrogen storage material represented by ethyl carbazole needs the system to provide considerable heat in the hydrogen release process, and for many application scenes, the selection of a heat source is key to the application of the organic hydrogen storage technology.

Application number 201910537030.9 discloses a dehydrogenation device based on hydrogen catalytic combustion heating, adopts the mode of hydrogen combustion to supply heat to a dehydrogenation reactor, and efficiency is improved than the electric heating scheme. However, a part of heat quality is wasted in the combustion process, and if the system is coupled with the fuel cell to externally supply power, the waste heat of the fuel cell is difficult to utilize, the energy efficiency of the system is not competitive, and the further application of the organic liquid hydrogen storage technology is limited.
