Complex Hydrides for Hydrogen Storage

The search for hydrogen storage materials capable of efficiently storing hydrogen in a compact and lightweight package is one of the most difficult challenges for the upcoming hydrogen economy. Liquid chemical hydrides with high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities have the potential to overcome the challenges associated with hydrogen storage. Moreover, the liquid-phase nature of these hydrogen storage systems provides significant advantages of easy recharging, and the availability of the current liquid fuel infrastructure for recharging. In this review, we briefly survey the research progress in the development of diverse liquid-phase chemical hydrogen storage materials, including organic and inorganic chemical hydrides, with emphases on the syntheses of active catalysts for catalytic hydrogen generation and storage. Moreover, the advantages and drawbacks of each storage system are discussed.

Materials for hydrogen storage: current research trends and perspectives

There is a general consensus to develop renewable energy storage and conversion technologies to replace fossil fuel energy for sustainable development. Currently, the development of high performance energy storage and conversion devices is an important step on the road to alternative energy technologies. Among the newly developed materials, porous carbons and related functional materials including metal/metal oxide nanoparticles and carbon–metal/metal oxide hybrids show potential for applications in such devices. Recently, the newly emerging open framework materials, including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous organic frameworks (POFs), act as outstanding templates and/or precursors to fabricate porous carbons and related nanostructured functional materials based on their high surface areas, controllable structures and abundant metal/organic species in their scaffolds. Here, recent significant advances in the development of open frameworks for preparation of porous carbons and related nanostructured functional materials are reviewed with special emphases on the applications in the energy and environmental areas.

Functional materials derived from open framework templates/precursors: synthesis and applications

Heteroatom modification represents one of the largest studied areas of research related to nanostructured carbon materials, with integrated applications stretching from energy production and storage to sustainability and medical uses. While a wide variety of dopants (boron, phosphorus, iodine, fluorine, etc.) have been studied, doping carbon structures with nitrogen ad-atoms has arguably experienced the greatest progress and brought the most attention over the last several years. Research in this field has conclusively demonstrated that nitrogen doping is an effective way to tailor the properties of carbon and tune the material for various applications of interest. This review provides a comprehensive overview of advances in the last half decade on state-of-the-art carbon modification with nitrogen heteroatoms. Improvements in well-established fabrication/modification processes are discussed as well as novel strategies. Additionally, recent theoretical and experimental findings related to the benefits and effects of nitrogen modification for specific applications in the energy and environmental fields are reviewed.
