There now exist complex chemical hydrides that store hydrogen with hydrogen concentrations that are well above 10 wt%. However, these materials have slow desorption kinetics and many release other chemicals such as ammonia or borazine which would poison a fuel cell. Many are also difficult to handle in that they degrade rapidly in air. These issues can be solved using nanotechnology. The coaxial electrospinning process is simple and industrially scalable. This technology can produce a relatively inexpensive, compound material that be handled safely in air, operates at low pressures and temperatures and has sufficiently high hydrogen concentration and rapid desorption kinetics to be useful for transport applications.
