Organic materials for hydrogen storage applications: from physisorption on organic solids to chemisorption in organic molecules

Abstract

Finding suitable (transportable) storage devices for hydrogen is one of the key points to really access the foreseen “hydrogen economy”. While numerous studies are devoted to finding inorganic materials enabling the storage of hydrogen with high energy densities under “mild” conditions, relatively less effort has been focused on the search for purely organic storage solutions. This review aims to focus on these pioneering works.
