Hydrogen Storage and Generation Through Nanoparticlised Metal Hydrides

Abstract

Hydrogen, as a clean and efficient energy carrier, has garnered significant attention in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. This abstract explores the promising avenue of hydrogen storage and generation through nanoparticlised metal hydrides, a cutting-edge approach aimed at addressing the limitations of conventional storage methods. Basic well-known hydrogen storage methods, such as physisorption and liquid hydrogen storage, have proven inadequate in terms of efficiency, safety, and practicality. Furthermore, the high-pressure hydrogen storage technique is often impractical due to safety concerns and the energy-intensive compression requirements. In contrast, the utilization of nanoparticlised metal hydrides offers a unique opportunity for safe, compact, and reversible hydrogen storage. In addition, this abstract delves into the novel concept of hydrogen generation from magnesium hydride through the use of organic acids, a groundbreaking innovation that further enhances the practicality and sustainability of the metal hydride approach. Such advancements hold great promise for unlocking the full potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source, facilitating its integration into diverse applications and contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.
