Experimental Proof to Natural Hydrogen Generated Through Serpentinization of Olivine at Room Temperature and Ambient Pressure With Mechanochemistry

Key Points

• This research aims to prove that natural hydrogen can be generated through the serpentinization of olivine at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using mechanochemical processes.
• Conducted experiments on olivine under mechanical energy input to initiate serpentinization.
• Analyzed the reaction process to evaluate hydrogen production at ambient temperature and pressure.
• Demonstrated hydrogen generation through the redox reaction between water and iron(II) minerals in olivine under room temperature and pressure.
