Hydrogen Storage

Hydrogen Storage

 

Our research focuses on the development of new light weight metal hydrides for hydrogen storage, materials for high temperature heat storage and the application of ball milling procedures for the synthesis of new compounds.

Research Topics:

The main research is the synthesis and characterization of new materials for the storage of hydrogen and heat. The focus is on complex aluminum hydride compounds, which... [more]
The synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds can often be simplified with mechanical activation. Solvents are not necessary, the reaction time... [more]

“All-rounder hydrogen" - Heat storage unit starts demonstration operation

Hydrogen plays a key role in our future energy supply, which is to be based on renewable energies. Everyone is talking about hydrogen - but there are also challenges yet to be solved on the way to a hydrogen infrastructure. For example, heat storage is a key issue that needs to be addressed. A team from the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (MPI), together with other partners, has developed a promising approach here, which is now entering demonstration operation.
