solid-state hydrogen storage

Solid-state hydrogen storage involves materials that can absorb and hold hydrogen atoms within their structure, rather than storing hydrogen as a gas or liquid. These materials, like metal hydrides or other advanced compounds, can release hydrogen when needed for fuel applications. This method offers safer, more compact, and efficient storage, as it reduces risks associated with high-pressure or cryogenic tanks. Solid-state storage is being researched to enable reliable, lightweight, and portable hydrogen fuel systems for vehicles and energy use, contributing to cleaner energy solutions.
