Hydrogen energy is one of the most suitable green substitutes for harmful fossil fuels and has been investigated widely. This review extensively compiles and compares various methodologies used in the production, storage and usage of hydrogen. Sonochemistry is an emerging synthesis process and intensification technique adapted for the synthesis of novel materials. It manifests acoustic cavitation phenomena caused by ultrasound where higher rates of reactions occur locally. The review discusses the effectiveness of sonochemical routes in developing fuel cell catalysts, fuel refining, biofuel production, chemical processes for hydrogen production and the physical, chemical and electrochemical hydrogen storage techniques. The operational parameters and environmental conditions used during ultrasonication also influence the production rates, which have been elucidated in detail. Hence, this review's major focus addresses sonochemical methods that can contribute to the technical challenges involved in hydrogen usage for energy.
氢能是最适合替代有害化石燃料的绿色能源之一，已经得到了广泛的研究。本综述广泛地汇编和比较了用于生产、储存和使用氢气的各种方法。声化学是一种新兴的合成工艺和强化技术，适用于新型材料的合成。它表现出由超声波引起的空化现象，在那里局部会发生更高的反应速率。该综述讨论了声化学途径在开发燃料电池催化剂、燃料精炼、生物燃料生产、制氢化学过程以及物理、化学和电化学储氢技术方面的有效性。在超声处理过程中使用的操作参数和环境条件也会影响生产速率，这已经在细节上得到了阐明。因此，本综述的主要重点是声化学方法，这些方法可以为氢能在能源领域的应用所涉及的技术挑战做出贡献。
