Hydrogen storage, Chapter

This chapter describes the storage of hydrogen in several forms of carbon, ranging from amorphous activated carbon (AC) to the ordered forms such as graphite and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Carbon materials can be utilized for hydrogen storage in the following different ways ... 

This Ceramic Transactions volume captures 24 key papers from the conference, organized into the following chapters International Overviews Hydrogen Storage Hydrogen Production Hydrogen Delivery and Leakage Detection/Safety. 

Union Carbide showed the possibility of developing D-size hydrogen-nickel batteries with satisfactory performance. However, safety and cost considerations have restricted the applications of such units and the discovery of hydrogen storage alloys led to the development of the nickel-metal hydride secondary cell which was described in Chapter 6. 

Intermolecular interactions define crucial characteristics of materials for hydrogen storage materials. This topic is discussed in detail in the chapter by Cheng et al. devoted to molecular dynamics simulations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with molecular hydrogen. The properties of modified SWNTs, in the contribution from Politzer et al., are also analyzed from the point of view of potential applications in molecular electronics.
