Are you ready for a society driven by hydrogen energy? The fact is, no matter if you are ready or not, a hydrogen energy-based society has arrived. Hydrogen as an energy carrier is clean, cheap, inexhaustible, carbon-free, and high in energy and power density, which is perfectly beneficial for mankind to achieve the long-sought goal of a sustainable world. However, hydrogen exists as a gas at normal temperature and pressure conditions, and its energy density is quite low in a normal gaseous state. Thus, the storing of hydrogen becomes critical and actually, a convenient, high-density and low-cost hydrogen storage system is the key to enabling technology for the wide realization of a hydrogen energy-based society. However, finding this proper solution is challenging since many factors should be considered, such as high capacity, good cycle ability, fast kinetics and proper thermodynamics. In this exciting book on hydrogen storage, the worldwide active scientists endeavor to share with you: How they adopt new ideas on the synthesis, measurement and characterization techniques to advance the research on current studied materials; How they explore new materials for cutting-edge hydrogen storage development; How they think up new approaches for the next-generation design and development of future hydrogen storage systems, and; How they see the possible future directions of hydrogen storage technology and a hydrogen energy-based society.

An exploration of current and possible future hydrogen storage technologies, written from an industrial perspective. The book describes the fundamentals, taking into consideration environmental, economic and safety aspects, as well as presenting infrastructure requirements, with a special focus on hydrogen applications in production, transportation, military, stationary and mobile storage. A comparison of the different storage technologies is also included, ranging from storage of pure hydrogen in different states, via chemical storage right up to new materials already under development. Throughout, emphasis is placed on those technologies with the potential for commercialization.

Carbon neutral hydrogen technologies play a role in preventing climate change and the capacity to store and transport hydrogen will be critical in the growing hydrogen economy. This book focuses on new developments of hydrogen storage technologies and deals with an overview of the materials and science necessary for storing hydrogen with great attention to the synthesis, kinetics, and thermodynamics of new advanced materials e.a. porous carbon and nanomaterials. Ideal book for students of materials science, chemistry, physics; for researchers, chemical- and mechanical engineers, for industrialists, policymakers, safety agencies and governments.

Clean energy and fuel storage are often required for both stationary and automotive applications. Some of these clean energy and fuel storage technologies currently under extensive research and development include hydrogen storage, direct electric storage, mechanical energy storage, solar–thermal energy storage, electrochemical (batteries and supercapacitors), and thermochemical storage. The gravimetric and volumetric storage capacity, energy storage density, power output, operating temperature and pressure, cycle life, recyclability, and cost of clean energy or fuel storage are some of the factors that govern efficient energy and fuel storage technologies for potential deployment in energy harvesting (solar and wind farms) stations and onboard vehicular transportation. This Special Issue thus serves the need for promoting exploratory research and development on clean energy and fuel storage technologies while addressing their challenges to practical and sustainable infrastructures.
