The inability to store hydrogen poses a major obstacle to the development and commercialization of hydrogen-powered automobiles. If a light-duty automotive vehicle platform is to have a driving range of more than 300 miles, on-board hydrogen storage in the range of around 5–13 kg is necessary.
Compressed hydrogen gas tanks, liquid hydrogen tanks, cryogenic compressed hydrogen, metal hydrides, high-surface-area adsorbents, and chemical hydrogen storage materials are some of the current on-board hydrogen storage methods being used. “Reversible” on-board hydrogen storage solutions include gas or liquid storage, storage in metal hydrides or high-surface-area adsorbents, and on-board hydrogen regeneration or replenishment. Hydrogen regeneration is not achievable on board a vehicle for chemical hydrogen storage options (such as a chemical reaction to make hydrogen on board the vehicle), hence the spent materials must be removed from the vehicle and regenerated elsewhere.
