Metal hydride hydrogen storage technology<\/strong><\/h3>\nDr Saidul Islam, from the University of Technology Sydney, outlined the advantages of using metal hydride for hydrogen storage: \u201cMetal hydride hydrogen storage technology is ideal for onsite hydrogen production from renewable electrolysis. It can store the hydrogen for extended periods and once needed, it can be converted as gas or a form of thermal or electric energy when converted through a fuel cell.<\/p>\n
\u201cApplications include hydrogen compressors, rechargeable batteries, heat pumps and heat storage, isotope separation, and hydrogen purification. It can also be used to store hydrogen in space, to be used in satellites and other \u2018green\u2019 space technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, because its low thermal conductivity has resulted in slow charging and discharging times, researchers have worked to address this.<\/p>\n
