Methods and systems for production of doped carbon nanomaterials
A system and process for producing doped carbon nanomaterials is disclosed. A carbonate electrolyte including a doping component is provided during the electrolysis between an anode and a cathode immersed in carbonate electrolyte contained in a cell. The carbonate electrolyte is heated to a molten state. An electrical current is applied to the anode, and cathode, to the molten carbonate electrolyte disposed between the anode and cathode. A morphology element maximizes carbon nanotubes, versus graphene versus carbon nano-onion versus hollow carbon nano-sphere nanomaterial product. The resulting carbon nanomaterial growth is collected from the cathode of the cell.

Stacking type hydrogen generating device
The present invention provides a stacking type hydrogen generating device comprising an electrolysis cell, a water tank, a filter and a humidifier. The electrolysis cell is disposed in the water tank, the humidifier vertically stacked on the water tank, and the filter vertically stacked on the humidifier. A gas comprising hydrogen generated by the electrolysis cell can enter the filter through the first flow channel of the humidifier and enter the humidifier after filtered by the filter. The flow channels between the aforementioned units are respectively integrated with the aforementioned units. Accordingly, the volume and the pipelines of the stacking type hydrogen generating device could be decrease and safety could be improved.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE ELECTROLYSIS OF WATER
An alkaline electrolyser device for hydrogen production includes a first and a second electric charge battery substantially identical. Each electric charge battery has a first electrode of copper, silver or their alloys, coated with zinc, a second electrode with a ferrous catalyst, and an alkaline aqueous solution in which the first and second electrodes are immersed. An output opening placed in correspondence of the second electrode is suitable to allow the escape from the battery of gases which develop in correspondence of the second electrode. The batteries are short-circuited with an electric power supply member placed between the first or the second electrodes, with a predefined polarity such that the voltage across the electrodes is higher than 1.3 V. In this configuration, the first battery undergoes a discharging process producing hydrogen gas, whilst, contextually, the second battery undergoes a charging process generating oxygen gas. When the discharge cycle of the first battery is completed, the polarity of the electric power supply is inverted, so that the second battery begins to discharge producing hydrogen gas and, at the same time, the first battery recharges producing oxygen gas. The polarity inversion is repeated cyclically so that oxygen and hydrogen are produced alternately in the two batteries.
