According to ferret.com.au, A team of Australian scientists have developed a solid state hydrogen storage technology that is safer, lower cost, and stores a higher density of hydrogen than the gaseous and liquid systems presently used in industry. It is claimed that the magnesium alloy developed by Arne Dahle and Kazuhiro Nogita from Queensland University’s School of Engineering has seven times the storage density of a standard hydrogen pressure cylinder. “Any application that uses hydrogen is coming across this issue of hydrogen storage, because with pressurised gas or liquid you just don’t store enough hydrogen safely,” says CEO, Jeffrey Ng of a new company called Hydrexia that has been established to realise the commercial potential of the technology. Ng defined four key things that people look for when it comes to hydrogen storage: safety, hydrogen storage density, low cost and manufacturability. On all of these fronts, Ng says Dahle and Nogita’s new magnesium alloy performs better than the two most...
