Abstract

Abstract:

Hydrogen as clean energy attracts more and more attention, and the demand for hydrogen energy utilization technology is increasingly urgent. Hydrogen storage and transportation are widely recognized as the key challenge within hydrogen technologies. Hydrates allow safe, long-term storage of hydrogen under relatively mild temperature and pressure conditions, providing an option for hydrogen storage. Hydrogen storage in hydrates has great potential for industrial application due to its safety and environmental protection characteristics, and the two key issues in its current industrial application are hydrogen storage density and hydrogen storage rate. This paper illustrated the research history of hydrogen hydrates, summarized the phase equilibrium data of several common hydrogen hydrates, then concluded the hydrogen storage densities of different hydrogen hydrates, and finally, generalized the effects of physical strengthening and chemical strengthening on hydration. Through the evaluation and summary of the hydrogen storage of hydrates in recent years, the current problems and future research directions of hydrogen storage in hydrates were put forward to provide references for the industrial application of hydrate gas storage and the research of hydrogen hydrate.

Key words: hydrogen energy, gas hydrate, hydrogen storage density, hydrogen storage rate, clean energy
