  • Methods for reversibly storing hydrogen
    Patent number: 7462344
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of reversibly storing hydrogen at industrially practicable temperature and pressure conditions. A stable hydrogen storage hydride is mixed with a destabilizing hydride. The stable hydride is capable of releasing hydrogen at a first energy level. When the stable hydride is in the presence of the destabilizing hydride, the stable hydride releases hydrogen at a second energy level. The second energy level is significantly reduced from the first energy level.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 9, 2008
    Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations, Inc.

  • Reversible hydrogen storage systems
    Publication number: 20070264182
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions for reversible storage of hydrogen at industrially practicable temperature and pressure conditions. Hydrogen storage material systems comprising stable hydrides and destabilizing hydrides. When the stable hydride is in the presence of the destabilizing hydride, the stable hydride releases hydrogen at a lower energy level than it would in the absence of the destabilizing hydride.
