Aldrich Materials Science，Sigma-Aldrich Corporation（NASDAQ：SIAL）的一项战略技术计划今天宣布已签署协议，以合作与Ilika Plc（AIM：IKA）合作下一代氢存储材料的规模和商业化（AIM：IKA），一项先进的清洁技术欧洲杯足球竞彩欧洲杯足球竞彩材料发现公司。两家公司都认为，该企业将成为能源行业为开发用于燃料电池和清洁燃烧技术的消费型氢存储材料而努力的重要组成部分。欧洲杯足球竞彩
Hydrogen represents an attractive carrier of energy as its combustion or direct conversion to electricity via a fuel cell does not lead to the emission of carbon dioxide. In addition, hydrogen can be used as an alternative energy carrier to battery technology since the energy density of hydrogen can be substantially higher than that of batteries. The main criteria for hydrogen storage for transport purposes, as outlined by the US Freedom Car Initiative (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/pdfs/freedomcar_plan.pdf），将提供足够的氢，以使大约500公里的驾驶范围在近乎室温下充电和充电，并以足够快的速度提供氢，以实现从汽车到火车的车辆运行。电流原型应用使用非常高压压缩的氢或低温冷却的液体氢。这些方法在压缩和转换中消耗了很大一部分能量含量，并引起了安全问题。Ilika的存储解决方案是一种固体金属氢化物，它作为粉末以中等压力存储在圆柱体中，并在室温下稳定。当温暖到中等温度时，将释放氢作为燃料。
To be economically viable, the target weight percentage of hydrogen stored in such a material has been set at 6% by the US Department of Energy. Current commercially available hydride materials can achieve up to 2.3 weight % of hydrogen. The hydride materials being verified and scaled-up by Aldrich Materials Science can potentially store up to 10 weight % of hydrogen, reversibly.
Commenting on the collaboration, Ilika's CEO, Graeme Purdy, said: "This agreement is a great example of how Ilika, together with our partners, develops innovative materials that solve complex industrial challenges and shares in the commercial upside that these technological advances make possible. Sigma-Aldrich(R) is a world leader with renowned capability in the field of materials science. Through its Aldrich Materials Science initiative, Sigma-Aldrich possesses state-of-the-art integrated capabilities in hydrogen storage materials for fuel cell technology, including material development (mechanochemistry), manufacturing, application and evaluation, and have agreed to enter into a collaboration to scale-up Ilika's metal-hydride materials. In particular, their mechanochemistry know-how and processing is a proven tool for the preparation of novel materials. We are very pleased to be working with them."
维克多·巴莱玛（Viktor Balema）的A欧洲杯足球竞彩ldr欧洲杯线上买球ich材料科学经理R＆D经理补充说：“ Ilika独特的高通量发现功能给我们留下了深刻的印象，这是我们规模化设施的补充。作为我们定制研究服务的一部分，这项合作是创造了一个独特的机会，可以快速从发现转变为首次商业化，并有可能在短时间内为最终用户提供创新的存储材料。通过协作定制研究项目，我们旨在使材料创新在替代能源中，欧洲杯足球竞彩电子和生物医学市场。”
