Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Solid-state hydrogen storage: Materials and chemistry" report to their offering.
Hydrogen fuel cells are emerging as a major alternative energy source in transportation and other applications. Central to the development of the hydrogen economy is safe, efficient and viable storage of hydrogen. Solidstate hydrogen storage: materials and chemistry reviews the latest developments in solid-state hydrogen storage.
Part one discusses hydrogen storage technologies, hydrogen futures, hydrogen containment materials and solid-state hydrogen storage system design. Part two reviews the analysis of hydrogen interactions including structural characterisation of hydride materials, neutron scattering techniques, reliably measuring hydrogen uptake in storage materials and modelling of carbon-based materials for hydrogen storage. Part three analyses physically-bound hydrogen storage with chapters on zeolites, carbon nanostructures and metal-organic framework materials. Part four examines chemically-bound hydrogen storage including intermetallics, magnesium hydride, alanates, borohydrides, imides and amides, multicomponent hydrogen storage systems, organic liquid carriers, indirect hydrogen storage in metal ammines and technological challenges in hydrogen storage.
With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Solid-state hydrogen storage: materials and chemistry will be a standard reference for researchers and professionals in the field of renewable energy, hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen storage.
Key Topics Covered:
- INTRODUCTION
- ANALYSING HYDROGEN INTERACTIONS
