Hydrogen-Storage Alloys

[INQ. NO. 2408M26] Stable storage and supply of hydrogen are of paramount importance to ensure mobility based on hydrogen fuel cells and the efficient operation of generators. Existing hydrogen-storage methods include a high-pressure hydrogen-storage system and a liquid hydrogen-storage system, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Unlike the existing methods, Hydrolux has developed HL-2.0, a low-pressure and high-capacity hydrogen storage alloy that can increase safety while reducing storage space.
Among the hydrogen bell chains, the existing hydrogen storage method includes a high-pressure hydrogen-storage method, and a liquid hydrogen-storage method, to store a large amount per unit volume. However, it has disadvantages in that it has to use a compressor, risk, and insulation system.
Unlike the existing methods, Hydroluxis HL-2.0, a low-pressure and high-capacity hydrogen storage alloy has high safety because it can store and release hydrogen at less than 10 bars while reducing storage space.

Hydrogen-storage alloys that can be safely stored in high capacity of green hydrogen
The HL-2.0 developed by Hydrolux is a TiMn2-based hydrogen-storage alloy that has a larger hydrogen-storage capacity within a pressure range of less than 10 bars compared to other hydrogen-storage alloys. This does not violate the high-pressure method applied by high-pressure containers, and green hydrogen produced by water electrolysis from new and renewable energy sources can be stored directly without a compressor.
HL-2.0 has already won the Innovation Award in the field of substability and eco-design & smart energy at the 2024 CES, and its excellence has been certified. In addition, it received the Excellence Award in Hydrogen Storage at H2MEET 2024 as a fuel cell supply system for emergency power generation. Through this, many companies in the United States, China, and Japan requested and sold the supply system.

Founded in June 2021, Hydrolux attracted its first investment in the POSCO Idea Marketplace three months after its establishment, and completed series bridge funding worth KRW8.7 billion by December 2023. As a result, many related industries have a good perception of Hydrolux’ vision, and Japanese companies have shown a lot of interest in it.

The CEO of Hydrolux explained, “We plan to provide a variety of hydrogen storage systems depending on the use and mobility of hydrogen storage alloys by designing, characterizing, and manufacturing hydrogen storage alloys that are optimal for hydrogen storage capacity, operating temperature, and flat pressure.” He added, “These are some of the various requirements of consumers, so we will eventually create a business model that encompasses all the processes of hydrogen distribution, from production to supply.”
