Abstract: Onboard hydrogen storage of 5-13 kg of H2 is required to enable a vehicle driving range greater than 500 Kms, using pot fuel cell or internal combustion engines. Current storage systems face many challenges related to cost, durability/operability, charge/discharge rates and safety, which may limit widespread commercialization of vehicles powered by hydrogen. The present invention aims to overcome these challenges and is based on a modular cellular solid product platform system that stores gases such as hydrogen in interconnected unit cells at pressures up to or exceeding 100 MPa. The system provides a more efficient and safer way of storing gases for mobility applications and other, with greater performance, allowing a wider spread of hydrogen as the fuel of the future.
