The large-scale utilization of hydrogen energy faces more challenges, and the main hydrogen storage modes at present have various disadvantages. The high-pressure gas hydrogen storage has wide application and low cost, but the hydrogen charging and discharging needs a high-pressure environment and has potential safety hazards; the metal hydride is safe and stable in hydrogen storage and low in pressure, but the mass of the metal hydride is large, and the hydrogen charging and discharging process is limited by heat transfer capacity, so that the metal hydride is not suitable for being applied to the field of mobile traffic; the low-temperature liquid hydrogen storage has higher energy density, is a hot spot technology in the aerospace field, but has high cost and complex technology, and is difficult to store hydrogen for a long time.
The organic liquid hydrogen storage technology has high energy density, is safe and stable, is convenient for large-scale long-distance transportation, and is an important point for the development of hydrogen energy in the future. The organic liquid hydrogen storage material represented by ethyl carbazole needs the system to provide considerable heat in the hydrogen release process, and for many application scenes, the selection of a heat source is key to the application of the organic hydrogen storage technology. At present, the common technology adopts electric heating to supply heat, the electric energy of the heater is obtained from a fuel cell, but the power generation efficiency of the fuel cell is only 40% -55%, a large amount of waste heat is wasted, and the electricity is converted into heat, so that the energy efficiency of the system is further reduced. Application number 201910537030.9 discloses a dehydrogenation device based on hydrogen catalytic combustion heating, adopts the mode of hydrogen combustion to supply heat to the dehydrogenation reactor, and efficiency improves to some extent than the electrical heating scheme, but has wasted a part of heat quality in the combustion process, and the system efficiency has certain promotion space.
