Nano-scale tuning: a path to functional materials for hydrogen storage

如果发现的纳米商店能够从板凳上带到市场上，能源的生产和使用方式将发生革命性的变化。基于清洁能源技术的新市场将会出现。微型氢气库的出现将创造不可预见的市场。通过利用澳大利亚丰富的锂(Li)、镁(Mg)和铝(Al)资源来储存氢气，受益者将是对所获得的知识和纳米氢化物材料独特特性的应用感兴趣的澳大利亚工业界和学术界。通过减少温室气体排放，社会还将受益于更清洁的环境和更好的健康。

If the nano-stores discovered can be taken from bench to markets, the way energy is produced and used will be revolutionised. New markets based on clean energy technologies will appear. The emergence of miniaturised hydrogen stores would create unforeseen markets. By utilising Australia's abundant resources in lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg) and aluminium (Al) to store hydrogen, the beneficiaries would be the Australian industry and academia interested in the knowledge gained and the application of the unique features of nano-hydride materials. By reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases, society would also benefit from a cleaner environment and better health.
