This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Project will demonstrate the operational feasibility of a new solid-state hydrogen storage material, which will meet safety standards for general commercial uses while providing high energy density. Hydrogen generation will be triggered by a temperature-gated reaction resulting in the identification of solid mixtures with hydrogen storage capabilities ranging from 2000 to 3250 Wh/kg and from 2000 to 2850 Wh/L on a materials only basis. The proposed research includes identification of preferred energy dense mixtures, development of knowledge of reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and overall energy balances, and measurement of the mixtures' stability and tolerance to environmental conditions to gauge safety. Coupled with a hydrogen fuel cell, this new hydrogen source is sufficient to provide 2 to 3 times the runtime offered by state-of-the-art Lithium-ion batteries of the same weight and volume. The proposed concept will meet the critical performance and safety measures required for market adoption of fuel cell technology. The results will significantly advance the state of hydrogen storage technology, and may be extended to larger scale hydrogen storage applications.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将展示一种新型固态储氢材料的操作可行性，该材料将满足一般商业用途的安全标准，同时提供高能量密度。氢的产生将由温度门控反应触发，从而确定具有储氢能力的固体混合物的范围为2000至3250 Wh/kg和2000至2850 Wh/L（仅基于材料）。拟议的研究包括确定优选的能量密集混合物，发展反应动力学，热力学和整体能量平衡的知识，以及测量混合物的稳定性和对环境条件的耐受性以衡量安全性。与氢燃料电池相结合，这种新的氢源足以提供相同重量和体积的最先进锂离子电池所提供的2到3倍的运行时间。拟议的概念将满足市场采用燃料电池技术所需的关键性能和安全措施。研究结果将大大推进储氢技术的发展，并可能扩展到更大规模的储氢应用。
