- Comparative Example 1 many powders adhere to the surface of a power grinding pot that is not corrosive to aluminum and pulverized with toluene, and the crushed aluminum powder is Only a few grams were obtained. Further, the same measurement as in Example 1 was performed using the aluminum powder obtained in Comparative Example 1, but the aluminum powder floated in water, the hydrogen generation reaction hardly proceeded, and a slight amount of hydrogen was generated. I could't collect power.
- the aluminum powder of Example 1 treated with an organic solvent having corrosiveness to aluminum has improved surface hydrophilicity compared to the aluminum powder of Comparative Example 1 which was pulverized with toluene.
- the difference in the surface properties of the pulverized aluminum powder seems to have influenced the difference in hydrogen generation behavior.
- Comparative Example 2 using butyraldehyde the aluminum pulverization did not proceed well, and no hydrogen generation was observed.
- Comparative Example 3 in which stearate was added during the pulverization treatment, the amount of organic substances present on the surface was too large, so the affinity with water was poor, and the hydrogen generation reaction progressed because it was difficult to wet with water. It is thought that it was desperate power. Further, in Comparative Example 4 in which the aluminum powder produced by the atomization method is used as it is as a hydrogen generating material, since the particle shape is a thick droplet or potato shape, water penetrates to the center of the particle. It seems that the reaction efficiency has decreased because it is difficult to make the squeak reaction proceed completely.
- the content of aluminum and oxygen in the three kinds of metal powders was measured by fluorescent X-ray analysis, and the aluminum hydroxide formed on the powder surface was measured from the oxygen content. The amount of rum was calculated. From the amount of this aluminum hydroxide, the proportion of aluminum in the acid state in the aluminum content is determined, and the remainder is determined in the aluminum powder.
- the pulverization treatment of Example 1 hardly keeps the aluminum oxidization, so that the proportion of aluminum present in the metal state can be kept high, and as described above, It is possible to generate hydrogen at an efficiency of 90% or more of the theoretical value.
- a processing solvent used in the pulverization step a solvent in which toluene, which is an organic solvent inert to aluminum, was mixed in addition to methanol, which is an organic solvent having corrosiveness to aluminum, was used. In all cases, hydrogen was generated efficiently, and 95% to 97% of the theoretical hydrogen generation amount could be extracted.
- Hydrogen was generated in the same manner as in Example 1, and the generated hydrogen was supplied to the negative electrode of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode were stacked with a solid polymer film sandwiched between them, and a discharge test was performed.
- the result is a high output of 200mWZcm 2 at room temperature, a compact, portable fuel cell. As a fuel source, it has been divided.
