Hydrogen storage materials have been a subject of intensive research during the last 4 decades. Several developments have been achieved in regard of finding suitable materials as per the US-DOE targets. While the lightweight metal hydrides and complex hydrides meet the targeted hydrogen capacity, these possess difficulties of hard thermodynamics and sluggish kinetics of hydrogen sorption. A number of methods have been explored to tune the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of these materials. The thermodynamic constraints could be resolved using an intermediate step of alloying or by making reactive composites with other hydrogen storage materials, whereas the sluggish kinetics could be improved using several approaches such as downsizing and the use of catalysts. The catalyst addition reduces the activation barrier and enhances the sorption rate of hydrogen absorption/desorption. In this review, the catalytic modifications of lightweight hydrogen storage materials are reported and the mechanism towards the improvement is discussed.
