Lighter but less critical: designing magnetocaloric materials for hydrogen liquefaction with light rare-earth Laves phases
2023/05/10
New publication
As an emerging technology with higher efficiency than the conventional liquefaction methods based on Joule-Thomson expansion, magnetocaloric hydrogen liquefaction could be a “game-changer” to liquid hydrogen industry.

![Thermodynamic (meta)stability of individual MAX phases is inferred by the sign and magnitude of the calculated maximum formation enthalpies, relative to all possible combinations of known competing phases, including unaries, binaries, and ternaries, that are present in the M-A-X phase diagram [top panel; see Eq. (1)]. Boundary phases are retrieved from MP [28] and OQMD [21, 22]. The bottom panel contains crystal structures of (3×3×1) supercells of n=1,2, and 3 MAX phases along with other exemplary unary, binary, and ternary phases.]()

Magnetocaloric effect for more efficient hydrogen liquefaction
Hydrogen will play a key role in the transformation towards a carbon-neutral society. By comparison with current usage, it is estimated that global hydrogen requirements will increase fivefold by 2050 to some 550 million tons. But in order to store hydrogen, enormous amounts of energy are needed. During liquefaction, approximately a third of the energy content of hydrogen is lost, which makes the process largely uneconomical. In the Horizon Europe project HyLICAL with a budget of about some five million euros, a team including the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), TU Darmstadt and the start-up MAGNOTHERM wants to significantly improve the technologies for storing liquid hydrogen. To this end, the team is building on magnetocaloric materials that change their temperature when they are exposed to a magnetic field.
