Hydrogen storage materials

the long version

This book covers the characterisation of the hydrogen sorption properties of potential storage materials. The different types of material currently being considered for this purpose are introduced, together with the properties that are important for hydrogen storage applications. Both microscopic and macroscopic characterisation techniques are discussed, and the book also includes extensive discussion of the various factors that can affect the accurate characterisation of the hydrogen sorption properties of both metal hydrides and nanoporous hydrogen storage materials. *Hydrogen Storage Materials* therefore aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the topic for experienced researchers, while including enough introductory material to serve as a useful, practical introduction for newcomers to the field.
