Central to the development of hydrogen as a major alternative energy source
is its safe, efficient and viable storage. In order to benefit from the highly
efficient and low emission producing fuel cell consideration needs to be made
for unique requirements in storage. Solid-state hydrogen storage: Materials
and chemistry from Woodhead
Publishing provides a comprehensive review of the latest advances in solid-state
hydrogen storage as well as assessing new and emerging technologies.
Part one discusses the foundations of hydrogen storage technologies, containment
materials and the design of storage system covering liquid, chemically and physically
bound hydrogen. The unique storage requirements of hydrogen are highlighted
in part two with a detailed examination of hydrogen interactions. Further chapters
ensure that practical considerations are also made such as measuring hydrogen
take up in storage materials. This authoritative book addresses the challenges
faced by hydrogen storage which has a vital role in the campaign for alternative
energy sources.
Solid-state hydrogen storage is set to become a standard reference for researchers
and professionals in the field of renewable energy, hydrogen fuel cells and
hydrogen storage.
