Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The application of LaNi 5 based alloys as adsorbent for hydrogen separation and purification has been proposed for a long time. However, the actual utilization is limited by the poor CO tolerance of the alloys at atmospheric temperature. In this study, an elevated temperature vacuum pressure swing adsorption (ET-VPSA) method for H 2 separation using hydrogen storage material LaNi 4.3 Al 0.7 is proposed and demonstrated to be energy efficient. Elevating the working temperature results in improved CO tolerance of LaNi 4.3 Al 0.7, making it possible for the alloy to be used in more situations. An ET-VPSA model was built to explore the correlations between product H 2 purity, recovery rate, feed gas composition, cycle duration and counter-current blow down (CD) pressure. The results show that H 2 recovery rate of ET-VPSA reaches 95% while it is usually 85% or lower for regular pressure swing adsorption (PSA). The energy efficiency of these two separation methods is evaluated by methanol reforming-proton exchange membrane fuel cell system models which contain PSA or ET-VPSA as H 2 purification unit. A larger net power generation amount indicates less energy loss during H 2 purification process. Although the vacuum pump will lead to extra energy consumption, benefiting from higher H 2 recovery rate, the net efficiency of the system with ET-VPSA is 0.475, still higher than that with PSA (0.448).
