Ceramic Hydrogen Storage Materials: High Storage Density Candidates for Sustainable Green Energy

Ceramic Hydrogen Storage Materials presents the physical, chemical, physico-chemical properties of ceramics as hydrogen storage materials. It demonstrates how ceramic nanostructures can be specifically designed for high surface adsorption of hydrogen and can function as hydrogen batteries.

Covering methods for characterizing hydrogen storage capacity, this book showcases how hydrogen has the potential to facilitate decarbonization of the electric power sector by storing energy produced from renewable sources. It addresses both ceramic oxides and non-oxides while expanding on the synthesis and characterization of zero- and one-dimensional, high-surface-area ceramic structures. This book discusses the applications of hydrogen batteries in zero-emission vehicles and hydrogen fuels for aircraft.

This book will interest upper-level undergraduate energy and materials engineering students, as well as researchers studying green energy storage materials, hydrogen storage, and alternative transportation fuels.

Dr. Navid Hosseinabadi received his B.Sc. in materials science and engineering (2004) and focused his graduate studies (M.Sc. and Ph.D., 2004-2010) on ceramics and nanomaterials. He is currently an Assistant Professor of materials science and engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. His research interests are focused on developing solid-state inorganic hydrogen storage materials as hydrogen batteries from ceramics including nanoparticles, nanocapsules, MXenes, and ceramic substrates. He has published several volumes in the fields of advanced ceramic coatings and nanostructured smart corrosion inhibition and smart self-healing materials.
