Design a Hydrogen Generator

SiGNa’s new class of sodium silicide powders (NaSi) readily produce hydrogen with far less system complexity than other high density hydrogen storage methods. At greater than 9% by weight, sodium silicide technology produces comparable results to ultra high density chemical hydride technologies such as ammonia borane or sodium borohydride. However, sodium silicide has distinct advantages over these technologies such as:

• High temperature storage stability
• No catalyst required
• No pre-heat necessary
• Instantaneous start-up with near instantaneous off

All of these features come at a lower material and system cost. These unique attributes facilitate straightforward system integration to develop highly controllable and safe generation of hydrogen. SiGNa’s typical hydrogen generation system operates at a continuous 10 psi with near instantaneous start-up time. The exact operating pressure is controllable based on application specifics.

SiGNa is currently seeking beta sites for its hydrogen generation system technology specifically aimed at portable applications in the 1 to 500 Watt application areas. Selected partners must have experience in hydrogen fuel cell systems. Please contact SiGNa Chemistry either for its stand alone hydrogen generators or to inquire about customization for your application specifics at techsupport.
