“…In particular, the use of room-temperature metal hydrides has recently gained a vivid interest as concerns the energy management of intermittent renewable energies [142,143]. For instance, a prototype tank containing 29 kg of LaNi 4.8 Al 0.2 has been tested in Europe to deliver hydrogen to a PEM fuel cell at 1.5 bar and 2.6 Nl/min flow, while using a water heating system to maintain desorption temperature at 333 K [144]. In Japan, AB 5 alloys have been recently used in much larger storage devices by Toshiba corporation and the Japan Steel Works (JSW) as now detailed.…”

This paper is a comprehensive review of the properties of LaNi 5 derivatives and other AB 5 compounds with CaCu 5 crystal structure (A=Y, lanthanide, Th and B=transition metal, Al, Ge, Si, Sn) and their applications. The crystal structures of the intermetallic compounds are described considering their chemical composition and off-stoichiometry. Same approach is conducted for the metallic hydrides formed by direct reaction of dihydrogen with the intermetallic. The thermodynamic properties of the sorption reaction are presented regarding equilibrium pressure and reversibility. In a second step, outstanding applications are given focusing first on magnetic properties and electrochemical energy storage. Finally, other uses such as gas storage, heat exchange, compression or gas separation and purification are highlighted showing the tremendous possibilities offered by this class of materials.

“…Systems are scaled to be easily installed anywhere, with an H 2 storage capacity of ~150 Nm 3 per module. An example of a stationary application, based on a commercial LaNi 4.8 Al 0.2 alloy, was developed by Rizzi et al [142]. The hydrogen tank worked at 60 • C and it was integrated with a 1 kW PEM FC.…”

This paper aims at addressing the exploitation of solid-state carriers for hydrogen storage, with attention paid both to the technical aspects, through a wide review of the available integrated systems, and to the social aspects, through a preliminary overview of the connected impacts from a gender perspective. As for the technical perspective, carriers to be used for solid-state hydrogen storage for various applications can be classified into two classes: metal and complex hydrides. Related crystal structures and corresponding hydrogen sorption properties are reviewed and discussed. Fundamentals of thermodynamics of hydrogen sorption evidence the key role of the enthalpy of reaction, which determines the operating conditions (i.e., temperatures and pressures). In addition, it rules the heat to be removed from the tank during hydrogen absorption and to be delivered to the tank during hydrogen desorption. Suitable values for the enthalpy of hydrogen sorption reaction for operating conditions close to ambient (i.e., room temperature and 1–10 bar of hydrogen) are close to 30 kJ·molH2−1. The kinetics of the hydrogen sorption reaction is strongly related to the microstructure and to the morphology (i.e., loose powder or pellets) of the carriers. Usually, the kinetics of the hydrogen sorption reaction is rather fast, and the thermal management of the tank is the rate-determining step of the processes. As for the social perspective, the paper arguments that, as it occurs with the exploitation of other renewable innovative technologies, a wide consideration of the social factors connected to these processes is needed to reach a twofold objective: To assess the extent to which a specific innovation might produce positive or negative impacts in the recipient socioeconomic system and, from a sociotechnical perspective, to explore the potential role of the social components and dynamics in fostering the diffusion of the innovation itself. Within the social domain, attention has been paid to address the underexplored relationship between the gender perspective and the enhancement of hydrogen-related energy storage systems. This relationship is taken into account both in terms of the role of women in triggering the exploitation of hydrogen-based storage playing as experimenter and promoter, and in terms of the intertwined impact of this innovation in their current conditions, at work, and in daily life.

This paper aims at addressing the exploitation of solid-state carriers for hydrogen storage, with attention paid both to the technical aspects, through a wide review of the available integrated systems, and to the social aspects, through a preliminary overview of the connected impacts from a gender perspective. As for the technical perspective, carriers to be used for solid-state hydrogen storage for various applications can be classified into two classes: metal and complex hydrides. Related crystal structures and corresponding hydrogen sorption properties are reviewed and discussed. Fundamentals of thermodynamics of hydrogen sorption evidences the key role of the enthalpy of reaction, which determines the operating conditions (i.e. temperatures and pressures). In addition, it rules the heat to be removed from the tank during hydrogen absorption and to be delivered to the tank during hydrogen desorption. Suitable values for the enthalpy of hydrogen sorption reaction for operating conditions close to ambient (i.e. room temperature and 1-10 bar of hydrogen) are close to 30 kJ·molH2 1. The kinetics of hydrogen sorption reaction is strongly related to the microstructure and to the morphology (i.e. loose powder or pellets) of the carriers. Usually, kinetics of hydrogen sorption reaction is rather fast, and the thermal management of the tank is the rate determining step of the processes. As for the social perspective, various scenarios for the applications in different socio-economic contexts of solid-state hydrogen storage technologies are described. As it occurs with the exploitation of other renewables innovative technologies, a wide consideration of the social factors connected to these processes is needed to assess the extent to which a specific innovation might produce positive or negative impacts in the recipient socio-economic system and to explore the potential role of the social components and dynamics in fostering the diffusion of the innovation itself. Attention has been addressed to the gender perspective, in view of the enhancement of hydrogen-related energy storage systems, intended both in terms of the role of women in triggering the exploitation of hydrogen-based storage as well as to the impact of this innovation in their current conditions, at work and in daily life.
