Hydrogen Storage Using Steel Wool
| Division: | International / Automotive | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | | | City: | , | | School: | | | Abstract: | The hypothesis of this project is that the reversible reaction in which 2Fe + 3H20 is converted into Fe2O3 + 3H2 could be used to store hydrogen. Steam is passed over heated steel wool, releasing hydrogen (which powers a hydrogen fuel cell). The process is reversed by passing hydrogen, produced by solar-powered electrolysis of water, over heated iron oxide. |
