Solid-state hydrogen storage system design

1 The current status of automotive hydrogen storage technologies indicates that significant performance improvements must be realized prior to attaining 2010 and 2015 goals (adapted from [1]). [Pg.83]

The storage of hydrogen in solid-solution materials is characterized by endothermic and exothermic phase change reactions. The thermodynamic nature of these reactions requires the full characterization of influential material properties to enable the optimization of heat and mass transfer within the system. Additionally, the thermodynamic nature of the materials will define the containment technologies required to withstand the operational pressures and temperatures. [Pg.83]

2 The hierarchical influence of various hydrogen storage material properties on the system characteristics and efficiencies. [Pg.84]

The optimum system design for any hydrogen storage application will vary based on acceptable cost, operational environment, and the safety and performance demands. [Pg.85]
