New hydrogen storage technology ‘has great potential’
Researchers from Deakin University’s Institute for Frontier Materials have found a way to store hydrogen in powder form
Researchers say they have a found a new, efficient way to store large amounts of hydrogen in solid form. The method—known as ‘ball milling’—sees the gas combined with boron nitride powder in a spinning chamber. Once absorbed into this material, the gas can be transported safely and easily. The absorbed gases can then be recovered via a simple heating process, leaving both the gases and the powder unchanged and allowing for immediate re-use. The results of the research—carried out at Australia’s Deakin University’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM)—have been published in the peer-reviewed journal Materials Today. “We need to further validate this method with industry to develop a p
