If fuel cell cars run on gasoline, there is minimum disruption, but many predict that methanol will serve as a bridge to direct hydrogen. Early fuel cell cars may run on methanol, but rapid advances in direct-hydrogen storage and production could bypass any liquid fuel phase. 

Direct utilization of metallic Ti as dopant to prepare Ti-doped NaAlH4 offers a clear potential to achieve high hydrogen capacity. Material structural/compositional design is a feasible way to further improve hydrogen storage performance of Ti-NaAIRt system.
