Hydrogen fuel provided via green method is renewable and environmentally friendly. However, the lack of practical storage methods has restricted its use to such an extent that hydrogen storage is currently a crucial obstacle in the development of a hydrogen economy. For mobile applications hydrogen storage system needs to be lightweight and compact. Current technologies such as compressed gas or liquefied hydrogen have severe disadvantages especially in volumetric terms compared to fossil fuels and the storage of hydrogen in light weight solids could be the solution to further enhances the energy density of hydrogen tanks. This article reveals overview of novel solid hydrogen storage materials, highlighting their main advantages and drawbacks.
