Metal hydride hydrogen storage and compression systems for energy storage technologies

Along with a brief overview of literature data on energy storage technologies utilising hydrogen and metal hydrides, this article presents results of the related R&D activities carried out by the authors. The focus is put on proper selection of metal hydride materials on the basis of AB5- and AB2-type intermetallic compounds for hydrogen storage and compression applications, based on the analysis of PCT properties of the materials in systems with H2 gas. The article also presents features of integrated energy storage systems utilising metal hydride hydrogen storage and compression, as well as their metal hydride based components developed at IPCP and HySA Systems

Metal hydride – Graphene composites for hydrogen based energy storage

The paper presents a review of the authors’ studies of advanced functional composites of graphene based materials with metals, alloys, intermetallic compounds and their hydrides, and on the creation on their basis of hydrogen-storage materials for a compact and safe hydrogen storage, electrode materials for nickelmetal hydride batteries, highly efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of metals and organic compounds as well as their integration into the hydrogen energy systems for the backup electric power and for the H-based energy storag
