Hydrogen is a promising alternative energy vector, but its use at an appropriate site requires storage, which is a crucial aspect. Hydrogen storage (HS) in the form of metal hydrides represents an attractive possibility, and is being investigated worldwide. La(Ni0.95Fe0.05)(5) (LNF) has achieved significant attention as a HS media due to its suitable thermodynamics. However, its use as an effective storage material is hindered due to burning of hydro-genated LNF (LNFH) on exposure to air. The pristine LNFH catches fire rapidly on exposure to atmosphere. Here, a breakthrough strategy is demonstrated for design of hydrogenated air-stabilized hybrid material by encapsulating LNF inside reduced graphene oxide-ethyl cellulose. This novel hybrid material does not ignite upon exposure to air. This proposed hybrid material could be the ultimate choice for air-stable and safe storage for fuel cell/internal combustion engine-based vehicles. Further, the effectiveness of this hydrogen storage material is demonstrated for fuel cells.
