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.
