Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Materials and Metal-Organic Frameworks

Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Materials and Metal-Organic Frameworks

This community develops materials for storing and generating hydrogen, focusing on metal hydrides, boranes, and porous frameworks to enable efficient energy storage and production.

The work centers on solid-state hydrogen storage using metal hydrides, particularly magnesium hydride, and ammonia borane. A significant portion of the research involves metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers for hydrogen adsorption and catalytic generation. Methods include density functional theory calculations, synthesis of nanoparticles and alloys, and electrochemical processes. Applications range from reversible hydrogen storage systems to catalytic hydrogen production, with a strong emphasis on enhancing storage capacity and reaction kinetics through structural modification and catalyst design.

The largest share of the community's output is found in hydrogen research, accounting for 12.7% of all hydrogen research tracked, and 5,066 papers here.

The community comprises 13,502 papers, publishing primarily in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, and Inorganic Chemistry.

Recent work continues to focus on magnesium-based hydrogen storage, perovskite hydrides, and computational discovery of new materials, with recent studies examining nanosizing effects, solid electrolytes, and high-entropy alloys for solid-state applications.
