Abstract:
As hydrogen fuel cell vehicles gain momentum as crucial zero-emission transportation solutions, the urgency to address hydrogen permeability through the polymer liner becomes paramount for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and longevity of Type IV hydrogen storage tanks. This paper synthesizes existing research findings, analyzes the influence of different materials and structures on gas permeability, elucidates the dissolution and diffusion mechanisms of hydrogen in plastic liners, and discusses their engineering applications. We focus on measurement methods, influencing factors, and improvement strategies for liner gas permeability. Additionally, we explore the prospects of Type IV hydrogen storage tanks in fields such as automotive, aerospace, and energy storage industries. Through this comprehensive review of liner gas permeability, critical insights are provided to guide the development of efficient and safe hydrogen storage and transportation systems. These insights are vital for advancing the widespread application of hydrogen energy technology and fostering sustainable energy development, significantly contributing to efforts aimed at enhancing the performance and safety of Type IV hydrogen storage tanks.
