4. Current challenges for hydrogen materials
4.1 Challenges in the development of metal hydrides
Hydride hydrogen storage is not currently practiced on a large scale, mainly due to two factors: the cost of the storage material and the low reversible mass storage capacities. For the moment, storage materials do not meet US or European specifications for use in mobile applications, for example. By 2015, these specifications will be around 0.37 L/kWh and...
