How does How does nanonano science improve the science improve the efficiency of hydrogen storage?efficiency of hydrogen storage?
Hypothesis: Nano phase hydrogen storage materials can have different thermodynamic and kinetic properties compared to bulk hydrogen storage materials.
Nano particles of Hydrogen Storage materialControl Reactivity (enhanced rate of hydrogen release)Control Selectivity (prevent borazine formation)Can we prevent fusion of the nanoparticles as the reaction proceeds? (Don’t want to lose nano properties)

•Mechanism of H2 formation from AB inter or intramolecular?In neat AB are the dihydrogen bonded hydrogen atoms ‘preset’ for molecular hydrogen formation?
A barrier for nucleation and a barrier for growth. What is nucleation site/event?
•Why is the rate of H2 release from AB faster in a mesoporous scaffold?Chemical (catalytic surface interaction) Physical (nano-phase crystal defects)
Change in products yields change in thermodynamics, what is mechanism for linear polymer growth, (B ---- OSi)?
Research Needs
•How general is the ‘mechanism’? Will this work help our understanding of H2 formation from materials containing both hydridic and protic hydrogen?
