Liquid Hydrogen (LH₂)
Liquid hydrogen is the cryogenic liquid form of hydrogen gas, produced by cooling hydrogen to extremely low temperatures. It serves as a high-energy, zero-emission fuel and industrial raw material.
Key Properties:
Liquefaction Temperature:-253°C (20.37 K) at standard pressure
Density Comparison:Liquid state: 70.8 kg/m³
Gaseous state (at STP): 0.0899 kg/m³
Energy Density: Significantly higher than gaseous hydrogen
Technical Highlights:
Requires cryogenic storage due to ultra-low temperature
Clean energy carrier: Combustion emits only water
Critical applications in space propulsion, fuel cells, and advanced energy systems
