As a benign hydrogen-storage material that rapidly releases hydrogen-rich gases through microwave-assisted catalytic decomposition, wax has the potential to be the key to future of hydrogen-powered vehicles according to new research.
Hydrogen is often described as the fuel of the future, especially for application in hydrogen powered fuel-cell vehicles (HFCV’s). However, its widespread implementation in this role has been thwarted by the lack of a lightweight, safe, on-board hydrogen storage material.
It is widely recognised that a major scientific and technological barrier to the commercialisation and market acceptance of hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicles (HFCV’s) is the lack of an inexpensive, safe and easily produced (on-board) hydrogen storage material with suitable hydrogen generation kinetics.
