About the project
The scientific and technical goal of “Core-H2storage” is to develop a prototype that demonstrates the charging and discharging of hydrogen storage systems at pressures of up to 3.5 MPa and at ambient temperature for various applications.
Common methods of hydrogen storage, such as compression or liquefaction, are energy-intensive and place high demands on the materials used. “Core-H2storage” focuses on hydrogen storage in solids. For this purpose, two different systems are investigated: porous materials such as Si aerogels and high-entropy alloys. Hydrogen storage in both materials is considered under moderate conditions. Only the temperature for the release of hydrogen from the high-entropy alloys will be higher than that of the aerogels. Therefore, the requirements for the tanks are low compared to typical tanks for very high pressures or low temperatures.
