Description

Photovoltaic photo-thermal driven thermochemical and electrolytic coupling hydrogen production system and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of solar energy utilization, and particularly relates to a thermochemical and electrolytic coupling hydrogen production system driven by photovoltaic light and heat and a method thereof.
Background
With the increasing demand for energy, fossil fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are also rapidly increasing. Solar energy is used as clean renewable energy, the total amount of resources is huge, and the solar energy is an ideal alternative energy, but has the defects of low energy density and large irradiation fluctuation. If the solar energy is utilized to prepare hydrogen chemically, high-density and stable chemical energy can be obtained, and the advantages are obvious. In the existing method for producing hydrogen by utilizing solar energy, photovoltaic water electrolysis hydrogen production and thermochemical hydrogen production are two important hydrogen production modes.
Firstly, photovoltaic power generation is carried out by photovoltaic water electrolysis to prepare hydrogen, sunlight is directly converted into electric energy by utilizing photovoltaic effect, then the hydrogen is prepared by water electrolysis, direct current voltage is applied to two ends of a solid oxidation electrolytic cell by utilizing the electric energy produced by photovoltaic power generation, and H of a cathode of the solid oxidation electrolytic cell is prepared 2 O is decomposed to produce O 2- And H 2 Subsequently O 2- Loss of electrons through the electrolyte layer to O 2 Finally, the cathode of the solid oxidation electrolytic cell is used for producing hydrogen and anodeOxygen is extremely produced.
In the process of photovoltaic power generation, the photovoltaic cell mainly utilizes ultraviolet light and visible light with wavelengths of 200nm-800nm, solar energy of all spectrums cannot be converted into electric energy, and light which cannot realize photoelectric conversion can generate a thermal effect, so that the operating temperature of the photovoltaic cell is increased, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic cell is reduced.
In the process of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, a high-temperature electrolysis mode is adopted, so that higher energy conversion efficiency and hydrogen production rate can be obtained compared with low-temperature electrolysis. From the thermodynamic point of view, the Gibbs free energy change of the water electrolysis reaction at high temperature is reduced, the theoretical decomposition voltage of water is reduced, and the electric energy consumption is reduced. From the dynamic angle analysis, the higher operation temperature can accelerate the electrode reaction rate, so that the overpotential of the cathode and the anode is obviously reduced, the energy loss in the electrolysis process is effectively reduced, but the heat supply cost is correspondingly increased when the operation temperature of the electrolytic cell is increased.
The two-step pyrolysis hydrogen production generally utilizes the thermochemical cycle of the two-step method, utilizes the high-temperature heat energy formed by solar energy aggregation and the oxidation-reduction reaction of an oxygen carrier to decompose water, and comprises the following reaction processes:
reduction reaction:
oxidation reaction: MO (MO) X-Y +YH 2 O→MO X +YH 2
Total reaction:
the oxygen carrier is firstly reduced and oxygen is lost at a higher temperature, then oxidation reaction is carried out at a lower temperature, and the oxygen carrier for oxygen loss deprives oxygen atoms in water molecules to generate hydrogen, so that the two-step thermochemical hydrogen production is realized.
In the two-step thermochemical hydrogen production process, although the photo-thermal technology can utilize full spectrum sunlight, because the solar energy grade and the heat energy grade have larger differences, larger irreversible loss exists in the photo-thermal conversion process, high-temperature mixed gas produced by thermochemical hydrogen production still contains huge energy, and how to recycle heat is the key for improving the thermochemical hydrogen production efficiency.
