Abstract:

Bulk Al-Ga-In-Sn alloys have the potential to be widely used in special processes such as field, military, and disaster relief due to their high safety, easy storage, and good hydrogen production performance. However, the activation mechanism for such materials is still unclear, and it is impossible to clearly guide the formulation and performance regulation of the materials. Therefore, the design and synthesis of material sample points are carried out in this paper based on the experimental experience conclusions in this field and theoretical phase diagrams, and the hydrolysis and hydrogen production properties of the above materials were characterized in detail. In this work, the peak of the hydrogen production rate of the material is chosen as the optimization target, and the coupling relationship between the phase composition and element composition and the hydrogen production rate of the aluminum gallium indium tin-based hydrolysis hydrogen production material is tried to be explored. Our research results show that the coupling relationship between the elemental composition of the alloy and the peak hydrogen production has higher credibility than the coupling relationship between the phase composition and the peak hydrogen production,and the use of this coupling relationship can guide the directional design of the material. It provides a new idea for the directional design and synthesis of such materials in the future.

Key words: on-board hydrogen production, alloy hydrolysis, directional design, performance regulation
