Abstract:

Metal hydrides have been regarded over the last years as possible hydrogen storage materials for mobile fuel cell applications. A low gravimetric hydrogen storage density and huge amounts of released heat during the re-filling processprevent the commercial use. On the other hand metal hydrides can be used as thermochemical heat storage materials over a wide range of temperatures. The heat storage densities are orders of magnitude higher compared to sensible heat storage materials. Possible applications and developments with metal hydrides for hydrogen and heat storage applications will be presented.
