Abstract

Abstract: As an important secondary energy,the hydrogen has become very popular in many countries due to its avaialibility,convenient storage and transportation,clean and environmental protection,and efficient usage. High-pressure hydrogen storage vessel is the important storage and transportation equipment of hydrogen energy. The hydrogen embrittlement problem is the bottleneck of hydrogen energy and its related technology development,which has gradually developed into a very crucial and active research area in the metal material science. Thermal desorption spectroscopy(TDS)has become a widely used method to investigate the characteristics of hydrogen traps in metallic materials. First,the effect of the transformation of hydrogen traps during the heating procedure on the experimental results and its analysis of the TDS were discussed including the relatively comprehensive description of the set-up and the complete measurement principle and development history. Then the effect of hydrogen pre-charging and discharging processes on the TDS results were depicted while discussing the sample preprocessing technology and the advantages or disadvantages of TDS. Subsequently,the applicability of the three fitting models and the complexity of the deconvolution process were discussed when the TDS curves of two or more hydrogen traps overlaped with one another. Finally,the state of the art and the outlook for the post-processing theories and research development of TDS data were presented.
