The B4CN3 monolayer is fulfilling both the conditions for utilizing it as a hydrogen storage material. First, favorable averaged adsorption energy per H2 molecule which is within the ideal range for faster adsorption/desorption kinetics and second, the H2 uptake capacity of B4CN3 monolayer is higher than the target set by DOE (5.5 wt% by 2020).

ABSTRACTCerium in various chemical forms was introduced into NaAlH4 to study the hydrogen sorption properties of the resulted material. Although all the Ce precursors tested in this work resulted in a reversible hydrogen storage material, an immediate enhancement in the desorption kinetics could be achieved by a heating treatment, resulting in the in situ formation of cerium aluminide (CeAl4) in the material. While the use of CeAl4 instead of CeCl3 can increase the hydrogen capacity by bypassing the formation of the ineffective NaCl, the highest capacity of 4.9 wt% was obtained from NaAlH4 doped directly with commercial metallic cerium, which may provide a much simplified process for a possible up-scaling preparation of this 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.
