Hollow microspheres with less than 1 millimeter in diameter and several micrometers in wall thickness are attractive for hydrogen storage and transportation. The hollow microspheres can be made by drop tower technique, microencapsulation and vapor deposition methods. By immersion in high pressure hydrogen for a period of time at elevated temperature, the hollow microspheres can be filed with hydrogen gas at pressures up to one hundred MPa. The hydrogen mass fraction can be varied from 1% to 10% for hollow microspheres with different membrane hoop stress at failure.

Microspheres made of glass, polymer, or crystal material have been largely used in many application areas, extending from paints to lubricants, to cosmetics, biomedicine, optics and photonics, just to mention a few. Here the focus is on the applications of glassy microspheres in the field of energy, namely covering issues related to their use in solar cells, in hydrogen storage, in nuclear fusion, but also as high-temperature insulators or proppants for shale oil and gas recovery. An overview is provided of the fabrication techniques of bulk and hollow microspheres, as well as of the excellent results made possible by the peculiar properties of microspheres. Considerations about their commercial relevance are also added.
