100 kWh Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Device
Tags: IIT Bombay, India, Energy & Environment, Transportation & Automotive
This research introduces solid-state hydrogen storage devices designed for near-room temperature and low-pressure conditions, offering higher volumetric energy density compared to traditional compressed or liquid hydrogen storage. The team has simulated, optimized, fabricated, and experimentally validated devices ranging from 10 kWh to 100 kWh capacity. Applications include vehicular usage, heating and cooling systems, backup power, hydrogen purification, and thermal energy storage. The devices address the thermal management challenges of metal hydride-based hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. Patents for the technology are filed and granted, showcasing its readiness for commercialization.
