Functionalized heterofullerenes for hydrogen storage

PERFORMANCE OF AB, ALLOYS FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE AND HYDRIDE ELECTRODES

Two types of hydride electxodes are potential candidates to replace the Cd elecsode in NilCd batteries, One is of the A type where A is a rare earth metal or mixture thereof, and B is the transition metal. The other is commonly referred to as A type. A , type alloys with partial substitution of the B element in A type hydride material (Ovonic) with Co, Mn, Al, and Fe were studied (A compo...

Complex Hydrides for Hydrogen Storage

Complex hydrides, containing a minimum of 7.5 wt% hydrogen, are being investigated as hydrogen storage compounds for automotive use. As a new project, the work to date has largely involved refurbishment of equipment and acquisition of study materials. Initial experiments have confirmed that the instrumentation is functioning and that the data being obtained agree with that in the literature. In...

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 Production and Storage

■ This paper offers an overview of the technologies for hydrogen production. The technologies discussed are reforming of natural gas; gasification of coal and biomass; and the splitting of water by water-electrolysis, photo-electrolysis, photo-biological production and hightemperature decomposition. For all hydrogen production processes, there is a need for significant improvement in plant effi...
