Hydrogen Storage Technologies

Hydrogen storage is considered a key technology for stationary and portable power generation especially for transportation. This volume covers the novel technologies to efficiently store and distribute hydrogen and discusses the underlying basics as well as the advanced details in hydrogen storage technologies. The book has two major parts: Chemical and electrochemical hydrogen storage and Carbon-based materials for hydrogen storage. The following subjects are detailed in Part I: Multi stage compression system based on metal hydridesMetal-N-H systems and their physico-chemical propertiesMg-based nano materials with enhanced sorption kineticsGaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage in the Ti-Z-NiElectrochemical methods for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of metal hydrides In Part II the following subjects are addressed: Activated carbon for hydrogen storage obtained from agro-industrial wasteHydrogen storage using carbonaceous materialsHydrogen storage performance of composite material consisting of single walled carbon nanotubes and metal oxide nanoparticlesHydrogen storage characteristics of graphene addition of hydrogen storage materialsDiscussion of the crucial features of hydrogen adsorption of nanotextured carbon-based materials
