Within the next decade, hydrogen fuel cell technology may emerge as a popular engine alternative within the automotive industry. Hydrogen gas storage technology, which remains a key issue to public safety, is continuing to advance. However, recent research has shown that polymer tanks that are reinforced with carbon fiber can achieve operating pressures above 50 MPa. For this example, consider a hydrogen refueling station that (for safety reasons) dispenses hydrogen gas to vehicles at a constant 20 MPa. Your car...

Hydrogen gas is used as a fuel instead of fossil fuels. Storage of hydrogen is a challenge. One avenue of research involves chemical storage such as incorporating hydrogen as part of a metal hydride. In the following reaction sodium borohydride, NaBH4, is used as a means for storing and later generating the hydrogen gas in situ where it is needed as a fuel. Application of heat and use of a catalyst drives the reaction forward. NaBH4(s) + 2 H2O(l) →...
