Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrogen is expected to play a key role as an energy carrier in future energy systems of the world. However, Hydrogen storage is a crucial step for supplying hydrogen fuel to an end user, both for embedded systems and energy storage for stationary applications.

Without effective and efficient storage systems, a hydrogen economy will be difficult to achieve. Hydrogen storage in solid materials constitutes alternatives that possess the potential to surpass the storage densities of compressed and liquid hydrogen. In particular, the high volumetric density, storage at near-ambient conditions, and significantly improved safety, are important driving forces for research activities on hydrogen storage in solid compounds.

This Special Issue aims to collect original research or review articles on different classes of materials for hydrogen storage both from a fundamental and an applied point of view. Different types of materials for solid hydrogen storage including metal and complex hydrides, Perovskites, Nanotubes and Magnetic Materials, Spinel ferrites, High Entropy Alloys and nanoporous materials will be considered.

Recently, perovskite-type oxides have attracted researchers as new materials for solid hydrogen storage. This paper presents the performances of perovskite-type oxide LaCrO3 dedicated for hydrogen solid storage using both numerical and experimental methods. Ab initio calculations have been used here with the aim to investigate the electronic, mechanical and elastic properties of LaCrO3Hx (x = 0, 6) for hydrogen storage applications. Cell parameters, crystal structures and mechanical properties are determined. Additionally, the cohesive energy indicates the stability of the hydride. Furthermore, the mechanical properties showed that both compounds (before and after hydrogenation) are stable. The microstructure and storage capacity at different temperatures of these compounds have been studied. We have shown that storage capacities are around 4 wt%. The properties obtained from this type of hydride showed that it can be used for future applications. XRD analysis was conducted in order to study the structural properties of the compound. Besides morphological, thermogravimetric analysis was also conducted on the perovskite-type oxide. Finally, a comparison of these materials with other hydrides used for hydrogen storage was carried out. Full article
