President Kim Dong-one of KU spearheaded the development of a groundbreaking membrane reactor aimed at revolutionizing the storage and transportation of hydrogen, a crucial energy source for the future. Hydrogen, recognized for its environmental benefits, faces challenges in safe storage and transport due to its properties. To address this issue, Professor Choi Jung-kyu's team at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at KU introduced a high-performance membrane reactor that streamlines the dehydrogenation and hydrogen separation processes. By utilizing a zeolite membrane with exceptional hydrogen selectivity and a platinum-based catalyst, the reactor achieves high conversion rates at lower temperatures, enhancing both efficiency and safety. This innovation not only overcomes the limitations of traditional methods but also offers versatility for various high-temperature reactions beyond methylcyclohexane (MCH). The study, published in the prestigious journal Advanced Science, signifies a significant leap in hydrogen technology and has garnered support from the National Research Foundation for further research and commercialization.
