Gravimetric tank method to evaluate material-enhanced hydrogen storage by physisorbing materials

Electric field enhanced hydrogen storage on polarizable materials substrates.

Using density functional theory, we show that an applied electric field can substantially improve the hydrogen storage properties of polarizable substrates. This new concept is demonstrated by adsorbing a layer of hydrogen molecules on a number of nanomaterials. When one layer of H(2) molecules is adsorbed on a BN sheet, the binding energy per H(2) molecule increases from 0.03 eV/H(2) in the fi...

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...
