Hydrogen storage breakthrough could power the future of renewable energy
Metal borohydrides are being studied as a way to store hydrogen for energy purposes. The researchers are trying to improve the materials to make it easier to store and transport hydrogen safely. They found that while metal borohydrides have a high capacity for holding hydrogen, they face challenges like high required temperatures, slow processes, and difficulty in getting the hydrogen back easily. More work is needed to make this kind of hydrogen storage practical for everyday use.
