Metal Hydrides for Hydrogen-Based Energy Storage, Volume 1

Metal Hydrides for Hydrogen-Based Energy Storage, Volume 1: Fundamentals comprehensively describes the synthesis and rich chemistry of the most important group of hydrogen storage materials: metal hydrides. This book is one of a pair of companion volumes, with the other being Metal Hydrides for Hydrogen-Based Energy Storage, Volume 2: Applications. In Volume 1, an international team of renowned experts explores solid state materials for hydrogen storage with storage capacities reaching 18.5 wt. % H. The content covers fundamentals of metal–hydrogen systems, binary and ternary hydrides, metal deuterides and tritides, complex metal aluminium hydrides, complex metal hydridoborates, structural chemistry of metal hydrides, and computational studies of metal–hydrogen systems as hydrogen storage materials.
