T1 - Experimental and Kinetic Study of Lubrication Oil Composition on Hydrogen Auto-Ignition N2 - Hydrogen internal combustion engines (H₂ ICEs) present a promising alternative to conventional fuels, but they face challenges such as pre-ignition, where lubricating oils play a critical role. This study investigates the auto-ignition behavior of two base oils — Group II (mineral) and Group V (Ester) — and three formulated oils (Oils A, B, and C) at 20 bar using a heated constant-volume autoclave. Oil A and Oil B share a Group II (mineral) base, with Oil A containing lower levels of calcium-based detergents and higher levels of phosphorus-based antioxidants compared to Oil B. In contrast, Oil C is formulated with a Group V (ester) base oil, incorporating magnesium-calcium detergents. The auto-ignition temperature was measured in both air and stoichiometric hydrogen-air mixtures to assess the influence of oil composition, additives, and hydrogen addition on ignition characteristics. Results show that hydrogen’s AIT at 20 bar is 460°C but drops to 270°C with the addition of 0.2 ml of base oil. Base oils exhibited similar AITs in air (260°C) and hydrogen-air mixtures (270°C), with reactivity differences linked to molecular composition — ester (Group V) displayed lower reactivity compared to mineral oil (Group II). Formulated oils demonstrated slightly higher AITs (up to 290°C), where phosphorus-based additives reduced reactivity, while lower calcium content further slowed ignition. Among the tested oils, the ester-based oil with a mixture of calcium and magnesium detergents exhibited the lowest reactivity, making it a promising candidate for hydrogen engines. Additionally, reduced oxygen availability increased AIT by 10°C and prolonged ignition delay. A chemical analysis was also performed to evaluate the ignition properties of Group II (mineral) and Group V (ester) oils under varying temperatures. These findings highlight the impact of lubricant composition on pre-ignition behavior in H₂ ICEs, offering valuable insights for optimizing lubricant formulations.

Slow strain rate (SSR) tensile testing is a widespread method to quantify the hydrogen-induced ductility loss of alloys. Here, the hollow specimen technique was used to evaluate the effect of 150 bar hydrogen on the tensile properties of solution annealed and hardened 100Cr6 steel, which is a common material for bearing systems. This technique reduces the required amount of hydrogen and minimizes the duration and costs of the tests performed compared to in-situ tensile tests in autoclaves.

Considering only gaseous atmospheres, there is a variety of in-situ and ex-situ methods used to investigate the material behavior while or after exposed to hydrogen, respectively. Among these methods, a more conservative one is the in-situ testing at slow strain rates (SSRT) using conventional tensile specimens. While results obtained by a conservative procedure may be more applicable in many cases than those of ex-situ experiments, the tests are quite demanding, leading to limited testing capacities and high costs, especially for very slow strain rates. A possible solution that can enable in-situ testing at relatively low cost is the hollow specimen technique which gained increasing interest in the last decade. The main reasons are the minimal volume of hydrogen required and the elimination of a high-pressure hydrogen autoclave leading to significantly lower costs and enabling more laboratories worldwide to perform these tests. However, interpreting results from hollow specimens, especially when compared to conventional ones, remains a significant challenge. To address this, an experimental study was conducted using conventional and hollow specimens, both uncharged and pre-charged. Pre-charging was achieved using pure hydrogen (5.0, i.e. 99.999 %) at 100 bar and 300 °C for around 21 days. In order to obtain suitable reference specimens, other specimens were stored in argon at 100 bar and 300 °C for the same period of time. The tests were performed at various strain rates, down to 1E-6 1/s. While these ex-situ experiments are not directly comparable to in-situ tests with both types of specimens, they do provide some insights into the differences between the results of hollow and conventional specimens. Therefore, the elongation at fracture and reduction of area (RA) were compared, among other aspects. In addition, fractographical analyses were carried out using SEM images. Elongation at fracture was not significantly affected by hydrogen in conventional specimens, but it was slightly reduced in hollow specimens. RA, on the other hand, was lower for tests with hydrogen in both types of specimens across all strain rates. Moreover, the strain rate did not appear to influence hydrogen embrittlement in conventional specimens whereas in hollow specimens, tests conducted at higher strain rates (1E-4 1/s) showed a greater impact of hydrogen on elongation at fracture than those at lower strain rates (1E-6 1/s), which is contrary to the typical expectation. These findings suggest that the influence of hydrogen differs between conventional and hollow specimens, possibly due to factors such as surface roughness and differing stress states. However, further experiments are needed to fully understand these differences, including in-situ experiments to understand potential differences in hydrogen absorption between the two specimen types.

Furthermore, intermediate goods and consumer products are often hydrocarbon-based. Beside all the progress they made possible, hydrogen-containing substances can have severe detrimental effects on materials exposed to them. Hydrogen-assisted failure of iron alloys has been recognised more than a century ago. The present study aims to providing further insight into the degradation of the austenitic stainless steel AISI 304L (EN 1.4307) exposed to hydrogen. To this end, samples were electrochemically charged with the hydrogen isotope deuterium (2H, D) and analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). It was found that deuterium caused a phase transformation from the original γ austenite into ε- and α’-martensite. Despite their low solubility for hydrogen, viz. deuterium, the newly formed phases showed high deuterium concentration which was attributed to the increased density of traps. Information about the behaviour of deuterium in the material subjected to external mechanical load was gathered. A four-point-bending device was developed for this purpose. This allowed to analyse in-situ pre-charged samples in the ToF-SIMS during the application of external mechanical load. The results indicate a movement of deuterium towards the regions of highest stress.

Environments with high salinity (> 1.5 Meq of NaCl) are resided by halophiles (salt-loving microorganisms). To compensate for the intensive osmotic stress, they have resorted to two main adaptation strategies: 1) production of compatible solutes and 2) accumulation of intracellular KCl. Microbial community analysis of several high salinity environments revealed a number of recurring genera, including Halomonas and Halanaerobium. However, the impact of halophiles on the overall integrity and stability of the storage facilities remain largely unknown. To evaluate the suitability and stability of saline storage facilities, several model halophilic microorganisms, such as members of Halomonas, will be selected as testing subjects. First, the impact of halophiles on the infrastructure will be determined using an integrative approach by combining a number of techniques, including electrochemistry, TOF-SIMS, SEM/FIB/EDS and FIB-TEM. Second, the abilities of halophiles to alter the fuel composition (i.e. increase/decrease the fractions of H2) will be monitored using gas chromatography by growing them under high pressure. As a result of climate change and the accompanying mandatory shift to renewable energy resources, microorganisms will continue to play an important role in the energy sector, both to their benefit and detriment. Thus, it is important to achieve a certain level of understanding regarding the activities and mechanisms of halophiles prior to large-scaled excursions.

However, traditional electrochemical pre-charging techniques have limitations in represent-ing realistic gaseous hydrogen exposure conditions. This study presents three comparative analyses of tensile testing methodologies, focusing on the differences between electrochem-ical pre-charging, gaseous pre-charging, and in-situ testing using hollow specimens for aus-tenitic steels AISI 304L and 316L type austenitic steels. Based on the results obtained, the first comparison reveals that electrochemically pre-charged and gaseously pre-charged specimens exhibit different behaviours regarding the impact on the mechanical properties. This effect can be retraced to the varying distribution of hydrogen throughout the specimens. Although comparable embrittlement was observed for similar hydrogen concentrations, the relationship appears to be non-systematic. The second comparison evaluates the performance of pre-charged hollow specimens (300°C, 100 bar, 21 days) in comparison to hollow specimens tested in-situ under 200 bar hydrogen during slow strain rate tensile tests (SSRT). While pre-charged specimens show a slight de-crease in elongation at fracture and a noticeable decrease in reduction of area (RA), in-situ tested specimens exhibit significantly more pronounced embrittlement. This is in accord-ance with the results of Michler et. al. In the third comparison, geometry effects between pre-charged conventional and pre-charged hollow specimens are explored. In this case, the hydrogen effect appears to be of the same order of magnitude for both specimen types, although some differences are ob-served. The study's findings underscore the importance of considering differences between test methods when assessing materials’ compatibility with hydrogen. It specifically emphasises the need for in-situ testing with gaseous hydrogen to better represent real conditions in ap-plications within the hydrogen sector. Furthermore, the study provides an initial compari-son between conventional and hollow specimens, demonstrating their capability to reveal hydrogen effects. However, additional research is essential to enhance the comparability of results yielded by these testing methods.

The feasibility of this method has been demonstrated in several studies, leading to the establishment of an ISO committee for its standardization. Questions have emerged during this process, that currently prevent the method from being standardized for hydrogen testing. These questions relate to specimen geometry, specimen manufacturing and gas quality and are being systematically addressed in the TransHyDE-H2HohlZug project. The aim is to close the identified gaps towards the standardization of this method for hydrogen testing. This contribution presents the structure and milestones of the project, followed by the results regarding the influence of specimen production and its response to hydrogen effects. Depending on the production method, different roughness and residual stresses can be expected on the inner hole surface of the specimens. This is of importance since an increase in stress concentration sites have been found to be associated to a higher severity of hydrogen effects. This influence has been investigated after applying the following machining processes: a) drilled only; b) drilled and reamed; c) drilled and honed; d) electro-discharge machining (EDM) and honed; e) EDM and reamed. Roughness measurements using a profilometer, electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis and microhardness tests have been performed previous to mechanical testing to infer on the effect of the different production methods on the surface of the inner hole. Next, the specimens were mechanically tested via slow strain rate tensile tests in a argon and in hydrogen, both at 150 bar and room temperature. Here, a strain-rate sensibility analysis was also performed to identify an optimal strain-rate for the mechanical tests. Based on the results an optimal production method is identified and proposed.

It is therefore crucial to study deeply material compatibility, in particular for tribological components that are directly in contact with hydrogen. Some of the most critical parts are sealing components that face high risk of damage due variation of pressure, temperature and mechanical stress. In this study, the friction and wear behaviour of several rubber materials was evaluated in hydrogen environment at ambient and low temperature. Tests were performed against 316L disks in a reciprocation motion. Results reveal that the hydrogen affects the friction and wear behaviour of most materials. The friction mechanism is dominated by deformation for most rubber materials at ambient temperature while sliding occurs at low temperature due to the increased hardness of the rubbers.

Therefore, it is necessary to pursue research on material compatibility in hydrogen, especially for critical parts with tribological issues. The focus of this study is to evaluate the influence of hydrogen on a wider range of commercially available polymer materials. Thereby, the friction and wear behavior of different grades of TPE, POM, PA66, PA12, PPA, PEEK, PPS, PTFE, PAI, PI and PBI were investigated against a rotating steel disk (AISI 304). Filled and unfilled polymers from different suppliers were evaluated at room temperature in air, vacuum and hydrogen gas (H2) as well as in liquid hydrogen at - 253°C (LH2). The sliding behavior of the polymer materials is discussed by means of surface analyses, whereby special attention is paid to the formation of a transfer film. According to the results at ambient temperature, the effect of hydrogen environment on the tribological behavior of neat polymers may be related to lack of moisture, but also to saturated hydrocarbons in gaseous hydrogen. In liquid hydrogen, the best tribological performances were achieved with neat PA polymers as well as PPS and PI composites.

For these extreme demanding application, PTFE or PPS based materials are often used as high-performance polymer matrix. This project aims to provide a safe and sustainable sealing solutions for hydrogen applications. New materials with improved sustainability were investigated and compared with conventional grades. Tests were performed in hydrogen over a wide range of temperature and pressure (0.1 MPa to 40 MPa, and 100°C down to -150°C) at Kyushu University and BAM using a pin-on-disk apparatus in a continuous sliding motion. Polymer samples ran against 316L disk at 0.5 m/s and 3 MPa contact pressure.

Accurate quantification of ammonia in so-called Grade D hydrogen fuel is crucial for ensuring PEMFCs long-term operational stability and performance. According to ISO 14687 grade D hydrogen fuel sets a stringent threshold value of just 100 nmol/mol for ammonia impurities. Given the potential of an ammonia-based hydrogen supply chain, reliable quantification of ammonia contamination appears even more relevant. Hydrogen quality assessments for ammonia impurities typically employ techniques such as gas chromatography, cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy, or mass spectrometry. These techniques, however, require stable reference gases for calibration and long-term method validation. Typically, gravimetrically produced reference gases are used. However, ammonia poses unique challenges due to its chemical reactivity and stickiness. By applying (ultra )long-path Optical Feedback Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy we observed that above a certain amount of ammonia, the gravimetric amount deviates from the analytically determined amount. This discrepancy most likely arises due to strong adsorption of ammonia onto the inner surface of the gas cylinder. Therefore, we investigated the lowest gravimetrically preparable amount of ammonia in hydrogen for which the analytically measured amount of the cylinder remains congruent with the gravimetric amount of substance. We further investigated the applicability of passivated cylinders for trace ammonia gas standards and compared their performance to aluminum alloy cylinders. To confirm reproducibility of our results, we conducted three independent gravimetric preparation campaigns, each employing optimizations, or changes in methodology, at different times. Finally, we investigated whether those gravimetrically prepared trace amounts of ammonia in hydrogen gas standards were long-term-stable. Beyond gravimetrically prepared gas standards, we evaluated how a cutting-edge dynamic dilution system could reliably extend trace-ammonia calibration down to the ISO limit of 100 nmol/mol. For this purpose, we developed an advanced dynamic dilution system capable of a one-in-a-billion dilution ratio, validated for its SI traceability, reproducibility, and operational limits by applying an internal standard. In summary, our results demonstrate that precise dynamic dilution, coupled with concentrated gravimetrically prepared ammonia gas mixture, provides a route to full SI-traceable trace-ammonia reference sample gases.

However, hydrogen blending in gas networks raises technical challenges related to material compatibility, operational safety, and the lack of harmonized assessment methodologies across Europe. These challenges are addressed within the Safe Hydrogen Injection Modelling and Management for European Gas Network Resilience (SHIMMER) project, funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership under the Horizon Europe programme. A key outcome of the project is the development of an openly accessible database designed to support the assessment of hydrogen readiness in European gas networks and to facilitate knowledge sharing. The database compiles infrastructure data provided by project partners, including several European transmission and distribution system operators. It contains detailed information on gas network components such as pipelines, valves, fittings, gaskets, and compressors. In addition, a new category has been introduced focusing on the hydrogen compatibility of gas grid components and materials. This section provides structured information linking infrastructure components with material types and their hydrogen compatibility, enabling more systematic evaluation of hydrogen injection scenarios. By organizing heterogeneous datasets into a harmonized and user-friendly structure, the SHIMMER database supports research, best-practice development, and the safe integration of hydrogen into existing European gas infrastructure.

T1 - Investigation of the impact of base oils on the auto-ignition behavior of hydrogen–air mixtures N2 - Using hydrogen as a fuel in internal combustion engines (ICEs) poses several challenges that have yet to be resolved. One issue is the difficulty of controlling combustion, arising from the interaction of lubricant oil during the combustion process. This study examines the effect of lubricant oil on hydrogen's ignition behavior by measuring the minimum auto-ignition temperature (AIT) using a heated constant-volume autoclave at 20 bar. AIT measurements were performed in air and stoichiometric hydrogen–air mixtures to evaluate the effect of the base oil on ignition characteristics. Experimental results demonstrate that auto-ignition of a small volume of 0.2 ml in a total volume of 200 ml of base oil significantly altered the ignitability of H2, reducing the AIT of a stoichiometric H2-air mixture from 460 °C to 270 °C. Further increases in base oil volume up to 1 ml result in a further decrease in AIT in both air (260 – 240 °C) and H2-air mixtures (270 – 250 °C), indicating the need for further investigation into whether this suggests a higher risk of pre-ignition in H2 ICEs. Four common base oils – two mineral oils (Groups II and III) and two synthetic oils (Groups IV (polyalphaolefin) and V (ester)) – were tested to assess their ignition characteristics. The experimental results revealed that all four base oils exhibited similar AITs in air (260 °C) and in hydrogen–air mixtures (270 °C). However, their reactivity differed at a given temperature and pressure; the synthetic oils were less reactive than the mineral oils. Of the synthetic oils tested, the ester base oil exhibited the lowest reactivity, reflected in its longer ignition delay time. Additionally, a numerical investigation was conducted in an adiabatic, constant-volume reactor to examine the impact of base oil surrogates on H2 ignition across the temperature range. The simulated results showed that the base oil surrogates are more reactive than H2 at low temperatures. Of these tested oils, the ester showed the lowest reactivity at a given temperature and pressure, indicating its beneficial potential as a base lubricant for hydrogen engines.
