“…In response to the energy shortage crisis and daily deteriorated global warming, resorting to renewable energy resources with advanced fuel carriers and waste-to-energy management [3] can become an effective strategy. Liquid hydrogen (LH2) has the potential to replace traditional fossil fuels in jet aircraft systems with various advantages, such as light weight with low fuel transportation load [4], high specific energy [5], zero CO2 emissions [6], and low NOx emissions [7], long cruise capability [8], reduced air pollution [9] and environmental sustainability [10]. Hydrogen can be produced through chemical technologies (such as steam methane reforming methane pyrolysis).…”

“…However, the mass production of hydrogen via traditional steam reforming of hydrocarbons or water electrolysis is commercially unfavorable and is not environmentally friendly. − Most importantly, safe storage and transport of the highly explosive hydrogen gas must be ensured for commercial use of hydrogen sources. ,− More importantly, the operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)-driven flying vehicles or portable appliances requires a much lighter hydrogen container with a higher hydrogen volume density than the traditional gas container, which is designed to store extremely compressed or even liquefied hydrogen. − In contrast, chemical storage as an alternative to the old-fashioned physical storage method is lightweight and has excellent stability under normal conditions. , Sodium borohydride (SB) is an example of a material for the chemical storage of hydrogen energy and contains 10.6 wt % hydrogen . SB can be cleaved by both hydrolysis and thermolysis to produce pure hydrogen gas .…”

The generation of hydrogen, free of poisonous gas, combined with a lightweight proton-exchange membrane fuel cell can expand the use of hydrogen energy from conventional ground transportation vehicles and power stations to a variety of flying vehicles and wearable devices for civilian and military purposes. Herein, a hydrogen fuel composite composed of sodium borohydride (SB) and oxalic acid dihydrate (OA·2H2O) is introduced. The SB/OA·2H2O composite was easily decomposed to generate pure hydrogen at a trigger temperature of 50 °C, at which the water molecules of the OA·2H2O component were effectively liberated, inducing hydrolysis of the SB component to produce hydrogen gas. This dry hydrolysis-based hydrogen generation using the SB/OA·2H2O composite has the merits of rapidly generating hydrogen (i.e., 0.4 g of the composite can be fully decomposed within a minute at low temperatures), free of poisonous gas, in approximately 5 wt % yield (the theoretical maximum value).

Pollution, global climate change, and the scarcity of fossil fuel reserves have forced the automotive industry to step up its research efforts on clean fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). In fact, these systems can be considered relatively pollution‐free systems, with zero greenhouse gas emissions and higher efficiency than traditional vehicles. FCEVs typically use two sources of energy, fuel cells (FCs) and supercapacitors (SCs). One of the main issues with FCs is keeping the temperature between 60 and 90 °C. Herein, a strategy for controlling the temperature of the FC is proposed. Its objective is to achieve two main goals: the first is reducing the time and energy required to reach the optimum temperature, and the second is maintaining the temperature of the FC in the ideal range during operation. A Simulink/MATLAB model is established to determine the efficiency of the proposed system. The results show that at low ambient temperatures, the FC can be heated within 6 min, moreover the system allows cooling the FC and keeping its temperature in the ideal range.
