Storing hydrogen with aluminum hydrides

A U.S. research team has sought to improve the way aluminum hydride is used for hydrogen storage. The material was nanoconfined in a framework that is claimed to be able to overcome the challenge represented by the thermodynamic limitation of hydrides in storing the clean fuel.A team of scientists from the U.S. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories has proposed to use aluminum hydride (AlH3) to store hydrogen. This solid-state metal hydride, which is also known as "alane," is commonly used for rocket fuel, explosives, as a reducing agent in alkali batteries, and ...
