Development and characterisation of novel materials for hydrogen storage

Objective

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 transition metals, so-called mixed borohydrides. The proposal addresses synthesis of novel compounds by advanced ball milling, characterisation with respect to thermodynamics, kinetics and structure and studies of the effect of catalysts. The researcher from Hiroshima University has a significant competence in methodology related to ball milling and thermal characterisation of novel complex hydrides. The host institution, IFE, has a significant experience in hydrogen storage materials, and in particular structural studies of such compounds. A major goal of the project is a transfer of knowledge related to novel methods for synthesis and thermal characterisation.
