Complex of Laboratories for Hydrogen Materials Science

Complex of Laboratories for hydrogen materials science (Head is Tarasov B.P.) was established by order of June 22, 2022 and consists of:

  • Laboratory of Metal Hydride Energy Technologies with a staff of 20 people (Head is Lototsky M.V.).
  • Group of Hydride and Boride Nanomaterials with a staff of 8 people (Head is Fursikov P.V.)
  • Group of Metal Hydride Current Sources with a staff of 6 people (Head is Volodin A.A.).

Main areas of research:

  • Development of new scientific approaches to the creation of highly efficient metal hydride and composite materials for compact and safe storage and transportation of hydrogen,
  • Development of scientifically substantiated optimal technologies for the production of hydrogen-accumulating alloys and composites,
  • Modeling of processes in metal-hydrogen systems to determine the optimal compositions and designs of metal hydride batteries and hydrogen compressors,
  • Development of new materials and original solutions for the production of high-pressure hydrogen by hydrolysis and thermolysis,
  • Development of science-based technological solutions for the use of metal hydride materials and products in hydrogen energy,
  • Development of new nanosized hydride materials with high hydrogen content using quantum chemical calculations and original experimental research methods,
  • Development of original methods for the synthesis of boride and nitride materials with increased resistance to hydrogen and oxygen,
  • Development of new structural materials for hydrogen storage and transportation, resistant to hydrogen,
  • Search and development of new electrode and electrolyte materials for nickel-metal hydride rechargeable current sources,
  • Development of new technical solutions for the creation of nickel-metal hydride batteries and fuel cells.
