Hydrogen storage is considered a key technology for stationary and portable power generation especially for transportation. This volume covers the novel technologies to efficiently store and distribute hydrogen and discusses the underlying basics as well as the advanced details in hydrogen storage technologies.The book has two major parts: Chemical and electrochemical hydrogen storage and Carbon-based materials for hydrogen storage. The following subjects are detailed in Part I:* Multi stage compression system based on metal hydrides* Metal-N-H systems and their physico-chemical properties* Mg-based nano materials with enhanced sorption kinetics* Gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage in the Ti-Z-Ni* Electrochemical methods for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of metal hydridesIn Part II the following subjects are addressed:* Activated carbon for hydrogen storage obtained from agro-industrial waste* Hydrogen storage using carbonaceous materials* Hydrogen storage performance of composite material consisting of single walled carbon nanotubes and metal oxide nanoparticles* Hydrogen storage characteristics of graphene addition of hydrogen storage materials* Discussion of the crucial features of hydrogen adsorption of nanotextured carbon-based materials

Provides a comprehensive practical review of the new technologies used to obtain hydrogen more efficiently via catalytic, electrochemical, bioΓÇô and photohydrogen production. Hydrogen has been gaining more attention in both transportation and stationary power applications. Fuel cellΓÇôpowered cars are on the roads and the automotive industry is demanding feasible and efficient technologies to produce hydrogen. The principles and methods described herein lead to reasonable mitigation of the great majority of problems associated with hydrogen production technologies. The chapters in this book are written by distinguished authors who have extensive experience in their fields, and readers will have a chance to compare the fundamental production techniques and learn about the pros and cons of these technologies. The book is organized into three parts. Part I shows the catalytic and electrochemical principles involved in hydrogen production technologies. Part II addresses hydrogen production from electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) by decomposing organic compound into hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells (MECs). The final part of the book is concerned with photohydrogen generation. Recent developments in the area of semiconductorΓÇôbased nanomaterials, specifically semiconductor oxides, nitrides and metal free semiconductorΓÇôbased nanomaterials for photocatalytic hydrogen production are extensively discussed. AudienceThe book will have a wide audience including those in electrochemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, mechanical and chemical engineering, as well as renewable energy and storage technologies.

This book provides an overall view of the new and highly promising materials and thin film deposition techniques for printable solar cell applications. The book is organized in four parts. Organic and inorganic hybrid materials and solar cell manufacturing techniques are covered in Part I.
