Abstract

The emergence of a Hydrogen Economy will require the development of new media capable of safely storing hydrogen with high gravimetric and volumetric densities. Metal hydrides and complex metal hydrides, where hydrogen is chemically bonded to the metal atoms in the bulk, offer some hope of overcoming the challenges associated with hydrogen storage. Many of the more promising hydrogen materials are tailored to meet the unique demands of a low temperature automotive fuel cell and are therefore either entirely new (e.g. in structural or chemical composition) or in some new form (e.g. morphology, crystallite size, catalysts). This proceeding presents an overview of some of the challenges associated with metal hydride hydrogen storage and a few new approaches being investigated to address these challenges.
