TL;DR: In this article, the 1D bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes (BCNTs) are used as carriers for self-assembly of MgH2 (denoted as Mg H2@BCNT) for hydrogen storage and showed remarkably improved thermodynamics and kinetics for H2 adsorption and desorption.

TL;DR: In this article, transition metal nanoparticles (NPs) are used to improve the hydrogen desorption/absorption kinetics of MgH2, yet this catalysis could be enhanced further by supporting NPs on carbon-based matrix materials.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the tremendous enhancement in reaction kinetics of MgH2 can be ascribed to the nanometer size and highly active {001} facets of anatase TiO2, thus easily improving the hydrogen desorption properties.

TL;DR: In this article, three-dimensional flower-like TiO2 and amorphous carbon were synthesized as the catalyst for MgH2 system and great catalytic activities were acquired in the hydrogen sorption properties.

TL;DR: In this article, a bidirectional Co/Pd catalyst, homogeneously loaded on bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes, showed superior catalytic effects, improving both the hydrogen desorption and absorption properties of MgH2 at relatively low temperatures.
