DFIM / Laboratory of Materials for Hydrogen Energy Storage

Research topics: Development of materials and devices for hydrogen storage of electricity.

Main tasks:

• Development of new hydrogen-accumulating and hydrogen-generating materials with a hydrogen capacity of more than 5 wt. %.
• Creation of
  • compact and safe hydrogen generators and compressors of thermolysis and hydrolysis types,
  • compact and safe metal hydride reusable hydrogen accumulators (with a hydrogen content of at least 2.5 wt%),
  • efficient thermosorption metal hydride high pressure hydrogen compressors.
• Development of scientific bases for the accumulation of electricity using hydrogen as an energy carrier.
• Production and research of nanostructured alloys and pseudo-alloys, nano-sized hydrides, oxides, borides and nitrides; creation of functional composites based on them.
• Synthesis and study of graphene-like carbon nanostructures; creation of functional composite materials based on them.
