15. Hydrogen versatility of new applications, high calorific
value, and the fact that can be used as a clean fuel are
some examples of the high potential in research and
development activities.
The most active area of research for hydrogen production
in Mexico deals with biological related processes (40% of
published papers) with interesting topics such as
bioreactors.
The next more active research area is related to modified
hydrogen processes and catalysis from conventional
processes (22%).
Hydrogen production research based on photocatalysis and
photoelectrocatalysis materials is focused on synthesizing
photocatalytic materials to be efficient, stable, harmless,
abundant, and inexpensive.
16. systems and controls (12%). In this field, the research trend has
been to employ the coupling of a solar hydrogen system consisting
of a commercial electrolyzers and PV solar systems interconnected
in different configurations.
In the field of theoretical studies (8%) research trends are
concentrated in simulation studies to optimize hydrogen
production reactors and thermodynamic studies to predict
conditions for enhanced hydrogen generation, evaluate thermal
efficiencies and to avoid carbon formation.
In the field of electrolysis (3%), novel alloys are being proposed in
electrolytic alkaline medium through ball milling synthesis and
different nanoparticles as electrocatalysts for water electrolysis.
Finally, the present review on the hydrogen production research in
Mexico (within the last seven years) is expected to show a measure
of the scientific activity in the field, advances in each area, as well
as to provide sources of information to enhance research
collaboration in the Mexico and in the world.
