Abstract: A heat recovery system for hydrogen production with a solid oxide electrolysis cell, including a water storage tank, a solar cell panel, a low-temperature metal hydrogen storage tank, an evaporator, a high-temperature metal hydrogen storage tank, a heat exchanger, a solid oxide electrolysis cell, a separator, and a reactor is provided. After water in the water storage tank sequentially passes through the solar cell panel, the low-temperature metal hydrogen storage tank, the evaporator, the high-temperature metal hydrogen storage tank, and the heat exchanger for multi-stage heat exchange, water vapor reaching the working temperature enters the solid oxide electrolysis cell. The hydrogen generated after electrochemical reaction and unused water vapor flow out from the solid oxide electrolysis cell, firstly exchange heat with to-be-reacted water vapor through the heat exchanger and then enter the separator.

Abstract: A solar-driven methanol reforming system for hydrogen production includes a water storage tank, high-temperature solar collector tubes, a thermocouple, valves, preheaters, an evaporator, a reactor, a heat exchanger, a mixed solution (methanol and water) storage tank, a gas separator, a pump, a carbon dioxide storage tank, a hydrogen storage tank, and pipes; the present invention utilizes solar energy to provide heat required for hydrogen production by methanol reforming, and stores some heat in a phase change material to supply heat for the methanol reforming reaction when sunlight is weak; the system does not need additional energy supply, thus saving energy consumption from traditional electric heating or fuel heating.
