About this title

Synopsis

The next several years will see an emergence of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative energy option in both transportation and domestic use. A vital area of this technological breakthrough is hydrogen storage, as fuel cells will not be able to operate without a store of hydrogen. The book focuses on solid state storage of hydrogen. Part 1 covers storage technologies, hydrogen containmant materials, hydrogen futures and storage system design. Part 2 analyses porous storage materials, while Part 3 covers metal hydrides. Complex hydrides are examined in Part 4 and Part 5 covers chemical hydrides. Finally, Part 6 is dedicated to analysing hydrogen interactions.

Key Features: assesses hydrogen fuel cells as a major alternative energy source; discusses hydrogen storage technologies and solid-state hydrogen storage system design; explores the analysis of hydrogen interactions including reliably measuring hydrogen uptake in storage materials.

Contents: Part 1 Introduction: Hydrogen storage technologies; Hydrogen futures: emerging technologies for hydrogen storage and transport; Hydrogen containment materials; Solid-state hydrogen storage system design. Part 2 Analysing hydrogen interactions: Structural characterisation of hydride materials; Neutron scattering techniques for analysing solid-state hydrogen storage; Reliably measuring hydrogen uptake in storage materials; Modelling of carbon-based materials for hydrogen storage. Part 3 Physically bound hydrogen storage: Storage of hydrogen in zeolites; Carbon nanostructures for hydrogen storage; Metal-organic framework materials for hydrogen storage. Part 4 Chemically bound hydrogen storage: Intermetallics for hydrogen storage; Magnesium hydride for hydrogen storage; Alanates as hydrogen storage materials; Borohydrides as hydrogen storage materials; Imides and amides as hydrogen storage materials; Multicomponent hydrogen storage systems; Organic liquid carriers for hydrogen storage; Indirect hydrogen storage in metal ammines; Conclusion: technological challenges in hydrogen storage.
