This technology holds promising potential for applications in hydrogen generation and the carbon materials market. The innovative preparation method of the transition metal catalyst system serves as a cornerstone for conceiving, designing, and advancing novel catalyst systems. The successful establishment of a demonstration system for catalytic cracking of methane showcases its capability to produce hydrogen as well as high value by-products of nano carbon materials. This achievement not only offers a theoretical and practical foundation for transforming natural gas into hydrogen through catalytic cracking but also paves the way for industrially applying high-value nano carbon materials.

This technology offers an innovative synthesis system for generating novel transition metal catalysts, used in methane cracking for hydrogen production. Methane cracking for hydrogen production is currently regarded as a cost-effective hydrogen generation technique. The novel transition metal catalysts, replacing commonly used precious metal catalysts, can further reduce the cost of hydrogen production. In addition to hydrogen production through the methane cracking process, it also yields high-value solid nano carbon materials. These solid nano carbon materials hold substantial market potential and have diverse applications in various fields, such as electrode materials for energy storage, wave-absorbing shielding materials, and nano carbon agents for enhancing rubber tire strength in addition to other uses.
