Solid-state hydrogen storage through the reversible formation of metallic hydrides is a key issue for the development of hydrogen as an energy vector. Here the hydrogen storage kinetics of the reaction between KSi and KSiH3have been strongly enhanced by catalyst addition. The reaction is perfectly reversible near ambient conditions with a 4.1 wt% hydrogen storage capacity.

nanocrystalline mixed oxides containing magnesium, nickel and chromium (MNCM) have been synthesized as an adsorbent using coprecipitation method and showed its reversible hydrogen storage capacity at ambient conditions using fixed bed. XRD and ICP-MS analyses ensured the adsorbents phase and homogeneity. The microstructure of mixed oxide has been investigated using FESEM and BET and TEM technique respectively. The adsorbent consisted of mesoporous surface with a surface area of 254-370 m2gm-1and SAED pattern showed that the adsorbents are poly-crystalline. The mixed oxides exhibited a 3.2 wt% H2storage capacity and release 57% of adsorbed H2. Adsorption enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) change of-27.58 kJ/mol and-70.21 J/mol.K are indicating favorable thermodynamics for reversible hydrogen storage material.

An overview of recent advances in hydrogen storage is presented in this review. The main focus is on metal hydrides, liquid-phase hydrogen storage material, alkaline earth metal NC/polymer composites and lithium borohydride ammoniate. Boron-nitrogen-based liquid-phase hydrogen storage material is a liquid under ambient conditions, air- and moisture-stable, recyclable and releases H2controllably and cleanly. It is not a solid material. It is easy storage and transport. The development of a liquid-phase hydrogen storage material has the potential to take advantage of the existing liquid-based distribution infrastructure. An air-stable composite material that consists of metallic Mg nanocrystals (NCs) in a gas-barrier polymer matrix that enables both the storage of a high density of hydrogen and rapid kinetics (loading in <30 min at 200°C). Moreover, nanostructuring of Mg provides rapid storage kinetics without using expensive heavy-metal catalysts. The Co-catalyzed lithium borohydride ammoniate, Li(NH3)4/3BH4 releases 17.8 wt% of hydrogen in the temperature range of 135 to 250 °C in a closed vessel. This is the maximum amount of dehydrogenation in all reports. These will reduce economy cost of the global transition from fossil fuels to hydrogen energy.

The paper mainly focuses on the ability of absorbing hydrogen molecule of the dimetallocene (C5H5)2TM2(TM=Ti/Zn/Cu/Ni) based on the first-principles calculation. The result indicates that these compounds can adsorb up to eight hydrogen molecules, the binding energy is 0.596eV/H2 for Cp2Ti2, 0.802eV/H2 for Cp2Zn2, 0.422eV/H2 for Cp2Cu2 and 0.182eV/H2 for Cp2Ni2 respectively. The corresponding gravimetric hydrogen-storage capacity is 7.1wt% for Cp2Ti2, 6.2wt% for Cp2Zn2, 6.3wt% for Cp2Cu2 and 6.5wt% for Cp2Ni2 respectively. These sandwich-type organometallocenes proposed in this work are favorable for reversible adsorption and desorption of hydrogen under ambient conditions. These predictions will likely provide a new route for developing novel high-capacity hydrogen-storage materials.

Ti -doped LiB (001) is a promising material for hydrogen storage. The adsorption of H 2 is greatly enhanced by doping Ti into LiB (001), change the electronic structures of the surface Li , B atoms. After H 2 is adsorbed on the surface, the E ad of the ( H 2)n@ Ti / LiB (001) system is considered. It is around -0.22 eV/ H 2 to -0.31 eV/ H 2, which is close to the target specified by U.S. Department of Energy. The nature of the bonding between Ti and H 2 is due to the H 1s, Ti 4s and B 2s orbital hybridization. In addition, Ti 3d orbital is hybridized strongly with B -2p orbital, resulting in more stable Ti / LiB (001) system. These results are verified by the electron density distribution intuitively. It is found that the system can adsorb up to four H 2 at ambient temperature and pressure. Therefore, the Ti -doped LiB (001) would be a promising hydrogen storage material. Such optimal molecular hydrogen adsorption system makes H 2 adsorption feasible at ambient conditions, which is critical for practical applications.
