Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Energy storage has nowadays become an importantissue due to the fact that equipment is beingscaled down while energy consumption isgenerally not reduced. This has also resulted inever increasing environmental issues. A possibleanswer might be found in using clean fuels suchas hydrogen. Currently, US Department of Energy(DoE) targets for the year 2010 aim at 6 wt.% ofhydrogen stored on system level. Presently,energy densities achieved by commercial Metal-Hydrides reach only 1.2 wt.%. Furtherdevelopment of new lightweight hydrogen storagematerials, based on magnesium or carbon,can provide a possible route to highergravimetrical storage capacities. The researchdescribed in this work shows that magnesium-based alloys show excellent reversible and fasthydrogen storage properties with capacities upto 6.7 wt.%. This makes these materials verypromising candidates when consideringapplications where hydrogen storage plays animportant role. The described in-depthinvestigation should help shed some light onthis new and exciting field of lightweightmaterials, and should be especially useful toprofessionals in academic and researchenvironments.
