NANOSTORE objective is to develop hydrogen storage materials based upon new nanomaterials for applications in mobile transportation systems (automotive).

The expected resulting nanostructured systems should work reversibly at practical temperature and pressure for fuel cell powered light-vehicle refueling.

Furthermore the products carried out with the NANOSTORE- nanomaterials should meet both kinetic and quantitative requirements necessary to a daily use of a vehicle: high energy milling technology allows to produce such nanostructured materials.

A wide range of materials will be designed, developed and tested:

  • Metal hydrides (Mg alloys, bcc alloys)
  • Alanates (Na, Li, Mg alanates)
  • Other complex hydrides (Ammides, Borohydrides)
  • PDMH (Polymer dispersed metal hydrides)
  • Zeolite based materials

The project offers an innovative approach integrating the hydrogen production and storage technologies through the following steps:

  1. designing and development through combinatory methods of innovative nanomaterials for solid hydrogen storage and carrying out of a prototype tank;
  2. development of a small reversible fuel cell/electrolyzer device in a prototype version
  3. integration of a demonstrative prototype device of fuel cell/electrolyzer with hydrogen tank for mobile use
