There is an urgent need for carbon-free sources of energy to mitigate climate change effects. Hydrogen is a very promising fuel to transition to climate-friendly energy and a sustainable energy future. However, most hydrogen is produced from carbon sources and thus undesired emissions are unavoidable during the production. One key solution is to use aluminum and water reactions to produce hydrogen on-demand. The cost of hydrogen can be reduced by using recycled aluminum. The scope of this project is to nanocatalyst with flame spray pyrolysis to enhance the hydrogen generated from recycled aluminum and water mixtures. A process patented by the industrial partner will be used to test the catalyst effectiveness. These experiments will support the commercialization of this hydrogen generation process.
