Abstract
A system and method for producing hydrogen (H2) gas and a single or hybrid hydrogen active material based aqueous suspension from pre-prepared effervescent tablets are provided. The produced H2 gas can be stored in a tank or directly utilized in a fuel cell, whereas the produced suspension can be employed as an advanced heat transfer fluid in a variety of thermal applications. The effervescent tablets can be fabricated with a homogeneously mixed and well-compressed mixture of hydrogen active metallic particles and effervescent powder in a sealed container to prevent air and humidity from reacting with the raw materials. As a result of the chemical reaction between the tablet and water, H2 gas (in the form of bubbles) and the hydrogen active material-based suspension are produced simultaneously. This system results in two products that can be used individually or all at once by integrating the different system components together.
