Abstract: Hydrogen storage has the potential to enable a renewable energy economy. This talk will focus on Mark D. Allendorf’s research on the development of hydrogen storage materials. Metal hydrides are one promising class of hydrogen storage materials, but there are kinetic and thermodynamic limitations to the practical use of bulk metal hydrides for hydrogen storage. Nanoconfinement is a powerful tool to alter the chemistry of these materials. By confining metal hydrides within nanoporous molecular frameworks, Allendorf and his collaborators have improved (de)hydrogenation reactions by making them faster, favorable at lower temperatures, and reversible over multiple cycles. Allendorf also explores how these advances in fundamental research can be leveraged for practical applications in larger systems like cars.
