Metal Hydrides: Materials and Technologies for Hydrogen-Based Energy Storage, volume 2 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 use as electrode materials in rechargeable batteries. In this volume, an international team of renowned experts has contributed chapters covering three key areas: (a) Hydrides with advanced tailored properties achieved by appropriate processing, nanoscaling, chemical and structural optimization, and use of catalysts; (b) In situ and operando characterisation of the mechanism and kinetics of interactions in metal–hydrogen systems; (c) Prime applications in hydrogen-based energy storage. Solid state materials for hydrogen storage are covered in the companion book, Metal Hydrides: Materials and Technologies for Hydrogen-Based Energy Storage, volume 1. Finally, a future outlook is presented that highlights the almost unlimited potential and possibilities offered by this exciting group of energy storage materials and their continuing development.
- Covers fundamental aspects of the interactions in metal–hydrogen systems by utilizing state-of-the-art computational and experimental studies
