能源和全球环境问题因经济条件和社会条件而变得混乱,但人类应该走的方向是脱碳和可再生能源的引入,氢可以发挥巨大的作用。
继国家第四个能源基本计划之后,在第五个能源基本计划中,“加强实现氢社会的努力”是日本2030年的重要政策之一。为了推广氢气,不仅必须发展燃料电池技术,这种技术可以被称为能量转换的核心,而且必须建立安全储存、运输和供应燃料电池中使用的氢气的技术,以提高其经济性。此外,在下一代汽车和能源领域加强氢相关技术的国际竞争力至关重要。
使用氢气的关键是确保可燃气体的安全性,但同样重要的是氢对材料特性的影响。氢是世上最小的元素,它侵入了所有物质,在某些情况下,它改变了物质的性质。由于所谓的氢脆化现象,许多钢铁材料的强度降低。此外,橡胶和聚合物材料(如填料)在高压氢气下吸收大量氢气,这可能导致各种损坏。此外,在表面和表面摩擦的部件中,摩擦和磨损受氢气的影响。由于许多金属材料、橡胶和聚合物材料以及各种摩擦材料用于储存和运输氢气的设备,因此,为了正确设计设备,必须正确了解和应用上述氢的影响。此外,有必要了解氢气压力和温度的性质变化。
能够很好地利用氢可以拯救人类和全球环境。另一方面,为了促进氢的普及,有必要确保氢在未来的经济活动中的可行性。换句话说,必须使氢的机械和基础设施更便宜,对全球环境的影响更小。
九州大学氢材料高级科学研究中心(HYDROGENIUS)正在研究材料和氢气,这是安全、高效地使用氢气以满足这些社会需求所必需的技术领域。这些研究需要高压气体的实验技术、材料评估技术、高级分析技术等,并且需要仔细测试每种材料。技术不是一天建成的。在长期研究政策下,研究人员坚持不懈地解决每一个问题。
Energy and global environmental issues are chaotic by economic and social conditions, but the direction humanity should go is decarbonization and the introduction of renewable energy, and hydrogen can play a huge role.
Following the country's fourth energy basic plan, "strengthening efforts to realize a hydrogen society" is one of Japan's key policies for 2030 in the fifth energy basic plan. In order to promote hydrogen, it is necessary not only to develop fuel cell technology, which can be called the core of energy conversion, but also to establish technologies for safely storing, transporting and supplying hydrogen used in fuel cells to improve its economy. In addition, it is essential to strengthen the international competitiveness of hydrogen-related technologies in the field of next-generation vehicles and energy.
The key to using hydrogen is to ensure the safety of combustible gases, but equally important is the effect of hydrogen on the properties of the material. Hydrogen is the smallest element in the world, it invades all matter, and in some cases, it changes the properties of matter. Due to the so-called hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon, the strength of many steel materials is reduced. In addition, rubber and polymeric materials such as fillers absorb large amounts of hydrogen under high pressure hydrogen, which can lead to various damages. In addition, in parts with surface and surface friction, friction and wear are affected by hydrogen. Since many metallic, rubber, and polymeric materials, as well as various friction materials, are used in equipment to store and transport hydrogen, the effects of said hydrogen must be correctly understood and applied in order to properly design the equipment. In addition, it is necessary to understand the nature of hydrogen pressure and temperature changes.
Being able to make good use of hydrogen could save humanity and the global environment. On the other hand, in order to promote the spread of hydrogen, it is necessary to ensure the viability of hydrogen in future economic activities. In other words, hydrogen must be made cheaper and have less impact on the global environment.
The Center for Advanced Scientific Research of Hydrogen Materials (HYDROGENIUS) at Kyushu University is researching materials and hydrogen, a technical field necessary for the safe and efficient use of hydrogen to meet the needs of these societies. These studies require experimental techniques for high-pressure gases, material evaluation techniques, advanced analytical techniques, etc., and careful testing of each material. Technology wasn't built in a day. Under a long-term research policy, researchers persistently address every problem.
