About this ebook
Metal Hydrides: Materials and Technologies for Hydrogen-Based Energy Storage comprehensively describes the synthesis and rich chemistry of a vast variety of the most important group of hydrogen storage materials – metal hydrides. In addition to exploring tailored properties manipulated by tuning their composition, morphology, and structure, the book also presents the most important applications of metal hydrides, including hydrogen and heat storage systems, hydrogen compression, hydrogen generation, and their use as electrode materials in rechargeable batteries.An international team of renowned experts contributes chapters covering four key areas: (a) Solid state materials for hydrogen storage with storage capacities reaching 18.5 wt. % H; (b) Hydrides with advanced tailored properties achieved by appropriate processing, nanoscaling, chemical and structural optimization, and use of catalysts; (c) In situ and operando characterization of the mechanism and kinetics of interactions in metal–hydrogen systems; and (d) Prime applications in hydrogen-based energy storage - Covers fundamental aspects of interactions in metal–hydrogen systems by utilizing state-of-the-art computational and experimental studies - Addresses all major groups of materials for hydrogen storage and generation – binary and ternary hydrides, deuterides and tritides, alanates, complex metal borohydrides, and materials for hydrolysis - Describes the synthesis and characterization techniques that allow researchers to probe the properties of bulk, thin-film, and nanoscale hydrides - Presents various applications of metal hydrides in hydrogen-based energy systems, including hydrogen and heat storage systems, hydrogen compression, hydrogen generation by hydrolysis, and use of metal hydrides in rechargeable batteries - Highlights the potential and possibilities offered by the use of metal hydrides in energy applications
