Hydrogen Storage Using Slurries of Chemical Hydrides

R-matrix calculation of low-energy electron collisions with LiH

“…It is increasingly being studied as a potential storage agent for solid-state hydrogen storage with recent trials suggesting that it can exhibit the maximum reversible hydrogen capacity ever achieved in metal hydrides (almost 9 wt% of H 2 ). Hence LiH is believed to be likely to play a key role in the development of 'hydrogen economy' with its benefits for hydrogen storage and transportation, hydrogen generation, hydrogen purification and the development of metal hydride compressors and hydrogen-based heat pumps and refrigerators (McClaine et al 2000). Indeed, lithium hydride is already used as a nuclear reactor coolant and its adoption in the proposed ITER fusion reactor is under discussion.…”

Technologies for the Storage of Hydrogen Part 1: Hydrogen Storage in the Narrower Sense

“…They are solid at every stage of the process. On the one hand, this is a disadvantage due the more demanding handling, i.e., pumping is not trivial, but fluidization in a liquid is an option to overcome this issue . On the other hand, there is a huge advantage in the small solid vapor pressure.…”

A Kw-Scale Integrated System for On-Demand Hydrogen Generation Using NaBH₄ Solution and a Low-Cost Catalyst

“…Among several hydrogen storage methods for application in fuel cells such as compressed hydrogen tanks [1,2], liquefied hydrogen [2], adsorption on activated carbon [3] or carbon nanotubes [2,4,5] and chemical hydrides [6][7][8][9], each with features appropriate to a certain field, on-board hydrogen generation using sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ; a chemical hydride) can be considered as as a low-weight method for portable applications.…”
