摘要
An alternative method for hydrogen production by laser irradiation of metals in water is proposed. Metals such as Ti, Al, Mg an Al-Mg alloy and Si, were laser ablated and subjected to an ultrasonic field simultaneously to promote a displacement chemical reaction of hydrogen from water. The produced gas was characterized by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Molecular hydrogen was found suggesting that this procedure allows the production of H-2 of high purity. All the studied metals under laser irradiation produced H-2 and the volume rise as the laser fluence was increased following a no-linear monotonic behavior with a similar tendency. Without ultrasound the amount of hydrogen was significantly reduced. An important advantage of the proposed H-2 production method is the low amount of mass consumed which lead to maximum hydrogen production rates close to 1300 ml/min per gr of aluminum.
