  • Chemicals

A Hybrid Hydrogen Storage System The subject invention disclosed herein is a hybrid storage system incorporating both hydrogen sorption and chemical-hydride storage media. The subject invention comprises a new class of composite materials, boron-nitrogen compounds impregnated in high-surface area boron nitride for hydrogen storage. A detachable cartridge containing these composites can be integrated into fuel systems. The spent cartridge can be replaced at refueling stations and then taken to a central facility for recharging (hydrogenation).
