Material Demands for Storage Technologies in a Hydrogen Economy

Clathrate hydrogen hydrate--a promising material for hydrogen storage.

Hydrogen is viewed as a promising clean fuel of the future. A low-cost hydrogen storage technology that provides a high storage capacity and fast kinetics is a critical factor in the development of a hydrogen economy for transportation. The technologies to store hydrogen can be classified into three types: compression, liquefaction, and storage in a solid material. 2] Compressing hydrogen requi...

Hydrogen Storage Technologies for Smart Grids applications

Electricity sector is among the main carbon emissions contributors. This sector has the potential to reduce its carbon emissions through producing electric energy from zero emitting facilities and through the optimization of the consumption in a way to better accommodate low carbon emissions. Hydrogen society per se combined with smart grids, as this is analyzed in this manuscript, can present ...

Calcium amidotrihydroborate: a hydrogen storage material.

Nanoscale Magnesium as a Hydrogen Storage Material

A self-catalyzing hydrogen-storage material.

Conventional (e.g. MgH2) and complex hydrides (e.g. alanates, borohydrides, and amides) are the two primary classes of solid-state hydrogen-storage materials. Many of these “high-density” hydrides have the potential to store large amounts of hydrogen by weight (up to 18.5 wt% for LiBH4) and/or volume (up to 112 gL!1 for MgH2), values that are comparable to the hydrogen content of gasoline (15.8...
