Hydrogen Storage by Physisorption: An Overview

Abstract:

Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe and an energy carrier. It can be produced from several sources using various methods, such as, electrolysis of water or reforming of hydrocarbons like, natural gas can produce hydrogen in a big plant or fuelling stations. When it is produced using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, or hydroelectric power, it supports the zero emissions approach. Hydrogen powdered electricity generation, whether it is for vehicles, or others, it can be carried out mainly in two ways: burning hydrogen in an internal combustion engine, or reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell. Above all, we need to have proper storage facility available at the production and as well as at the utilization site. There are several hydrogen storage technology available such as compressed storage; liquid hydrogen storage; metal hydrides, chemical hydride and by sorption in some porous medium. In this review article, some of the important finding in hydrogen storage materials for physical absorption methods has been discussed.
