Opportunity:
Triad National Security, LLC / Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking licensing partners to commercialize LANL-s intellectual property relating to its unique phosphoric acid doped ion pair PEM electrochemical pump and pumping system.
Overview:
Hydrogen is a promising clean energy resource for achieving carbon-free energy goals. It is also widely used as a reactant in various chemical reactions due to its high reactivity and versatility. Whether used as fuel or as a reactant, hydrogen may require purification, compression, separation and/or drying before it-s used.
Electrochemical hydrogen pumps (EHPs) present an efficient and scalable solution for hydrogen purification, compression, drying and separation of hydrogen from gas mixtures. With no moving mechanical parts, EHPs offer reliability, compact design, and easy integration into clean energy systems and hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
However, conventional EHPs face limitations. Some struggle with separating gas mixtures containing less than 20% hydrogen. The materials used to make an EHP can be sensitive to contaminants such that impure hydrogen, or the presence of moisture and particulates can degrade the EHP-s efficiency and lifespan. Some proton exchange membranes (PEMs) lack stability at the high temperatures needed to address contamination and moisture.
To address some of the drawbacks, LANL researchers have developed a stable, high-efficiency phosphate-coordinated quaternary ammonium ion-pair PEM. This PEM is capable of operating at higher temperatures (140 to 200°C) and high current densities with dilute hydrogen mixtures. EHPs utilizing this ion-pair PEM can separate hydrogen from mixtures with as little as 10% hydrogen, achieving high-purity output (99.999%) and nearly 100% faradaic efficiency and hydrogen recovery. Compared to traditional pressure swing adsorption and mechanical compression techniques, this technology can reduce hydrogen d... - Documents:
