Abstract

The potential of hydrogen energy as a source of clean energy is now widely acknowledged, and the scientific community is directing its attention towards the advancement of storage technologies for this energy source. Such materials can be divided into two principal categories: (1) the utilization of chemical reactions, and (2) the application of physical adsorption. These materials can be classified into three categories: hydrogen storage alloys, metal hydrides, and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Presently, the advancement and investigation of these materials is predominantly concentrated on the synthesis of intricate materials through the incorporation or partial substitution of specific elements to enhance their intrinsic characteristics, including storage capacity, volumetric energy density, hydrogen uptake and desorption kinetics, and enthalpy of dehydrogenation. Our work presents a review of the three types of improved hydrogen storage materials mentioned above, with the objective of assessing their respective benefits and shortcomings. A comparison of the enhanced attributes of the various materials is presented, along with an analysis of some of their shortcomings.
