DESCRIPTION:
Hydrogen Storage Materials addresses the characterisation of the hydrogen storage properties of the materials that are currently being considered for this purpose.The background to the topic is introduced, along with the various types of materials that are currently under investigation, including nanostructured interstitial and complex hydrides, and porous materials, such as metal-organic frameworks and microporous organic polymers. Practical issues with the storage of hydrogen in both gas and liquid form appear to make reversible solid state hydrogen storage the most promising potential solution. The problem of storing hydrogen safely and effectively is one of the major technological barriers currently preventing the widespread adoption of hydrogen as an energy carrier and the subsequent transition to a so-called hydrogen economy. The main features of Hydrogen Storage Materials
He holds a PhD from the University of Salford's Institute for Materials Research and, on completing his doctorate, went on to work for the European Commission's Institute for Energy where he assisted in the development of their hydrogen storage material testing facility. His principal responsibility is the HTP series of volumetric and thermal desorption hydrogen storage material analysers. Darren Broom is currently a Product Manager for Hiden Isochema Ltd, a manufacturer of analytic
Hydrogen is the lightest fuel, the most efficient fuel and the cleanest fuel. Nejat Veziroglu, President of International Association for Hydrogen Energy“The book contains an impressive number of useful and topical references, and a descriptive introductory chapter outlining the search for a viable solid state store…It provides a good overview of these developments which sets the scene for the subsequent chapters which concentrate in commendable detail on the measurement techniques… In summary therefore, the search for a viable, lightweight solid state hydrogen storage material continues and to aid this task, this book provides a very valuable addition to a researcher’s shelf.”Rex Harris, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, vol.37, issue 9, 2012, p.7950-7951. Hence, extensive R&D activities around the world are taking plac
