Hydrogen Energy, Metal hydride, Solid State Hydrogen Storage.

Recently, human beings completely depend on non-renewable resources such as natural gas, coal, and oil to meet their energy needs. Metal hydride has long-term stability and low hydrogen pressure, and is a safe alternative to hydrogen storage. In addition, they have a high volumetric energy density about 60% more than liquid hydrogen. For decades, the behavior of hydrogen in metals has attracted the attention of the scientific community, and it is interesting in both point of view from the perspective of basic research and the perspective of technology. Metal hydrogen systems are used in energy storage systems in various applications. The hydrogen solubility of the M-H system is strongly affected by the morphology and microstructure, as well as the stress between regions of different hydrogen concentration.
