Development and characterisation of novel materials for hydrogen storage (MATERHY)

Start date: Aug 3, 2010, End date: Aug 2, 2012,

"Hydrogen storage is considered to be the key challenge in achieving a hydrogen-based economy. The long-term solution for many applications like in vehicles is hydrogen storage in solid materials. Light-weight complex hydrides are considered as the most promising materials. This proposal is focused on hydrogen storage in selected novel boron-based complex hydrides based on alkali and 3d/4d transit ...

Fluorine substituted High Capacity Hydrides for Hydrogen Storage at low working temperatures (FlyHy)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

At present there is no solid state hydrogen storage material available fulfilling all requirements for practical use in mobile applications. These are 1. high storage density, 2. temperatures and heats of operation compatible with PEM fuel cells, 3. high hydrogen loading and unloading speeds in the range of a few minutes and 4. low production costs. FlyHy focuses especially on the first three poin ...
