Hydrogen energy storage solid state

What is solid-state hydrogen storage?

As discussed, hydrogen is a promising clean energy carrier with the ability to greatly contribute to addressing the world's energy and environmental challenges. Solid-state hydrogen storage is gaining popularity as a potential solution for safe, efficient, and compact hydrogen storage.

Can solid-state materials be used in a hydrogen storage link?

If solid-state materials are used in the hydrogen storage link, the system efficiency can be increased by 10–20%. It is estimated that by 2025, about 5% of China’s communication base stations are expected to realize solid-state hydrogen energy storage replacement, with a market scale of about USD 710 million.

Are solid-state hydrogen storage materials economically feasible?

To be economically feasible, solid-state hydrogen storage materials must exhibit long-term stability and endurance. Comprehensive studies that analyze the deterioration processes of storage materials under real-world settings, including temperature fluctuations and cycling, are lacking in the literature. 6. Conclusions and future perspectives

How can we improve hydrogen storage capacities and kinetics in solid-state materials?

To improve hydrogen storage capacities and kinetics in solid-state materials, future research should strive to uncover novel sorption processes such as quantum effects and confinement. Scalable manufacturing procedures must be developed to move solid-state hydrogen storage from the laboratory to real-world applications.

How can a solid-state hydrogen storage heating network save energy?

In terms of heat source selection, in addition to electric heating, the waste heat of fuel cells and internal combustion engines, or renewable energy sources such as solar energy and geothermal energy, can be used to build an efficient and energy-saving solid-state hydrogen storage heating network.

When will solid-state hydrogen storage become mainstream?

Although its industrialization is still in its nascent stages, breakthroughs in key technologies like hydrogen storage materials and system integration are expected to propel solid-state hydrogen storage to mainstream status, rivalling gaseous and liquid hydrogen storage within the next 10–15 years.
