High-pressure torsion (HPT) is widely used as a severe plastic deformation technique to create ultrafine-grained structures with promising mechanical and functional properties. Since 2007, the method has been employed to enhance the hydrogenation kinetics in different Mg-based hydrogen storage materials. Recent studies showed that the method is effective not only for increasing the hydrogenatio...

Abstract Physisorption of hydrogen in nanoporous materials offers an efficient and competitive alternative for storage. At low temperatures (e.g. 77 K) moderate pressures (below 100 bar) molecular H 2 adsorbs reversibly, with very fast kinetics, at high density on the inner surfaces such as zeolites, activated carbons metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). This review, by experts Task 40 ‘Energy Stor...
