Solid State Hydrogen Storage in Polymeric Materials: A Review

Hydrogen storage is one of the major obstacles to overcoming so that hydrogen becomes next fuel and/or energy carrier of the future. The hydrogen storage materials are one of the principal challenges that must be met before the development of a hydrogen economy. Among all materials studied an important class that could have a future, in particular in portable applications, is the polymers class. Here are reported some results obtained using different polymeric matrices in different operative conditions.
