A research team led by Dr. Young-Min Kim and Dr. Byeong-Chan Suh from the Lightweight Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed the world's first ...

However, a problem with metal hydride for hydrogen energy storage has been its low thermal conductivity, which leads to slow charging and discharging times.

A research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed the world's first solid-state hydrogen storage material capable of storing and transporting hydrogen safely without the ...

Basel researchers merge MHAT chemistry with enzymes, opening new pathways for greener pharmaceutical synthesis.

Interest in hydrogen fuel is growing for automotive applications; however, safe, dense, solid-state hydrogen storage remains a formidable scientific challenge. Metal hydrides offer ample storage ...

Metal hydrides are considered a cutting-edge storage material for hydrogen. These hydrides function even better, if the micrometer-sized hydride particles are coated with a thin polymer film.

A metal hydride is formed when hydrogen bonds with a metal, and they are sometimes referred to as solid-state hydrogen batteries. The very first metal hydrides date back to the 1930s.

Although many metal hydrides are available, Aymard and colleagues chose the inexpensive magnesium hydride due to its advantageous electrochemical properties. The magnesium hydride electrodes ...
