Definitions
- Silicon is a carbon-related element. It is used for many purposes only in a high purity state, e.g. in semiconductor technology and in use for solar cells. For such purposes so-called “wavers” are sawn from long poles of high-purity silicon. These are thin plates from which computer chips are then made.
- silicon compounds are commercially available, mostly halosilanes and organylsilanes.
- thin silicon layers are produced on a carrier material by vapor deposition. That is, the substituents of silicon (e.g., chlorine, methyl groups, hydrogen) are separated by pyrolysis or gas discharge, and the pure silicon remains on the carrier. For example, most solar cells are coated with silicon.
- silane which serves to apply silicon to a support, means that the released hydrogen is only a waste product.
- Silane is burned as fuel. It is burned with the oxygen and the nitrogen of the air to the chemically dead compounds silicon oxide and silicon nitride. But that did not get beyond the experimental stage. The main disadvantage of this use is that valuable silicon is lost as fuel.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET The invention has as its object to use silanes so that their hydrogen is available and the silicon is retained.
- silanes are used by way of pyrolysis (claim 1).
- Pyrolysis is a collective chemical term for the heat decomposition of substances with the exclusion of oxygen or air.
- silanes can be used, the raw material was contaminated silicon, which would be unsuitable for the processes described above. This is because each pyrolysis has a purifying effect with the result that the silicon is more pure after pyrolysis than before (claim 2). In this way, the use of silane according to the invention results in the formation of silicon with such a high degree of purity that it is suitable as a starting material for the semiconductor industry and for coating processes.
- silanes with a chain length of up to five silicon atoms, which are already liquid, can still be self-igniting.
- silane from cyclopentasilane and hexasilane is no longer self-igniting.
- these longer-chain polysilanes can be handled in the same way as conventional liquid fuels such as gasoline or alcohol (claim 3).
- the Müller-Rochow synthesis is state of the art. Thereafter, silicon is digested with chloromethane and there are various chloro-methyl silanes. In a downstream process, hydrogen is now added in excess. According to the law of mass action, this leads to a part of the chloro-methyl-silanes being converted into "pure" hydrogensilanes, which can be distilled or filtered from the reaction mixture (claim 4).
- a further modification of the Müller-Rochow synthesis is alternatively proposed: For finely pulverized fluidized silicon, hydrogen gas is already introduced in the first process step (claim 5).
- silane according to the invention lends itself to fuel cells (1) (claim 7). Hydrogen obtained by pyrolysis of the silane is introduced into the fuel cell through a hydrogen line (2). With the air introduced through the air line (3), electric current is generated, which is discharged through a power line (4), and water, which flows through a water pipe (5).
- Silanes can also be used according to the invention in mobile fuel cells, in particular in the motor vehicle sector, the use of silanes with a higher chain length starting from cyclopentasilane or hexasilane and upwards being generally advantageous (claim 9).
- the silane is passed through a Silanleirung (6) to a pyrolysis chamber (7), in which the pyrolysis proceeds with the result that atomic solid silicon and hydrogen gas are released there. (Claim 10).
- a silane tank (8) from which the Silan effet (6) to the pyrolysis (7) leads (claim 11).
- the pyrolysis space and fuel cell have a common wall (9) at least where the fuel cell heats up during operation (claim 12).
- this common wall (9) consists of a good heat-conducting material (claim 13).
- a separating device 10 is provided (claim 14). It is proposed as a hydrogen diffusion-permeable membrane, electrostatic precipitator or centrifuge, wherein it is also proposed to be advantageous to close such separation devices in series one behind the other (claim 15).
- the silicon dust is collected in a Feststoffsammeiraum (11) and is taken from there (claims 16, 19 and 21).
- Pyrolysis starts at a certain operating temperature, which is higher than the usual ambient temperature.
- a hydrogen branch line (12) the mouth of which is expediently mounted in the region of the introduction of hydrogen into the fuel cell, ie in the region in which the hydrogen is already completely separated from the solid.
- This hydrogen branch line opens into a hydrogen storage (13), in which the hydrogen is collected.
