Introduction

Hydrogen is considered a promising clean energy carrier for a sustainable and low-carbon future. It can play a key role in transportation, renewable energy storage, and large-scale energy systems. However, one of the main challenges for the widespread use of hydrogen is the development of safe, efficient, and cost-effective storage technologies. In recent years, significant progress has been made in hydrogen storage methods such as compressed hydrogen, cryogenic storage, metal hydrides, and chemical hydrides. In addition, advanced materials, nanostructures, and computational approaches such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) have contributed to improving the performance and understanding of hydrogen storage systems. This book presents recent advances in hydrogen storage technologies, materials, and modeling approaches, highlighting current challenges and future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.

Objective

The main objective of this book is to present recent advances in hydrogen storage technologies and materials. It aims to review and compare different storage methods such as compressed hydrogen, cryogenic systems, metal hydrides, and chemical hydrides, highlighting their advantages and limitations. The book also seeks to explore emerging materials and innovative solutions, including nanomaterials and porous structures, that can improve hydrogen storage capacity, safety, and efficiency. In addition, it addresses key challenges such as cost, scalability, and system integration with renewable energy applications. Overall, the book intends to support researchers and engineers by providing an updated overview of current developments and identifying promising directions for future research in hydrogen storage.

Target Audience

This book is intended for researchers, academics, engineers, and graduate students working in the fields of energy systems, materials science, and hydrogen technologies. It will be particularly useful for scientists and engineers involved in hydrogen production, storage, and renewable energy integration.
