Provides a comprehensive practical review of the available hydrogen storage technologies such as: electrochemical hydrogen storage; chemical hydrogen storage; graphene and hydrogen storage; nanotechnology and hydrogen storage; carbon- based materials and hydrogen storage.

Hydrogen storage is considered a key technology for stationary and portable power generation especially for transportation. This volume covers the novel technologies to efficiently store and distribute hydrogen and discusses the underlying basics as well as the advanced details in hydrogen storage technologies.

The book has two major parts: Chemical and electrochemical hydrogen storage and Carbon-based materials for hydrogen storage. The following subjects are detailed in Part I:

• Multi stage compression system based on metal hydrides;
• Metal-N-H systems and their physico-chemical properties;
• Mg-based nano materials with enhanced sorption kinetics;
• Gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage in the Ti-Z-Ni;
• Electrochemical methods for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of metal hydrides.

In Part II the following subjects are addressed:

• Activated carbon for hydrogen storage obtained from agro-industrial waste;
• Hydrogen storage using carbonaceous materials;
• Hydrogen storage performance of composite material consisting of single walled carbon nanotubes and metal oxide nanoparticles;
• Hydrogen storage characteristics of graphene addition of hydrogen storage materials;
• Discussion of the crucial features of hydrogen adsorption of nanotextured carbon-based materials.

Audience

The book will have a wide audience including those in electrochemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, mechanical and chemical engineering as well as renewable energy and storage technologies.
