NMR Study of Novel Hydrogen Storage Materials


EMSL Project ID
13499d

Abstract

In the past two years, PNNL has collaborated with the University of Connecticut with aims to develop nanostructured hydrides and to obtain insights into the hydrogen desorption and sorption of the hydrogen storage materials. The project is currently supported by DOE, after wining the "Grand Challenge" Award for Basic and Applied Research in Hydrogen Storage. The efforts at PNNL focus on understanding hydrogen desorption and sorption in the nanostructured materials, as well as the local chemistry and structure of the nanostructures, in particular with the use of NMR. Work carried out under previous user proposal proved that the NMR techniques is a suitable, sensitive tool to gain insight into the material structure and local chemistry, providing vital information for sustained materials development and optimization. This User Proposal is, therefore, a direct support to a funded DOE project.
