chemical hydrogen storage

Chemical hydrogen storage involves capturing hydrogen gas in stable chemical forms, like metal hydrides or chemical compounds, to store it safely and efficiently. When needed, these materials release hydrogen through a controlled reaction, making it available for use, such as in fuel cells for clean energy. This method offers a compact, safe, and high-density way to store hydrogen compared to compressed or liquefied forms, facilitating its practical use in transportation and energy applications while minimizing safety risks and energy loss during storage.
