Fundamental Theoretical Study of Hydrogen Interactions with Novel Nanostructures

虽然世界各国政府都计划在未来几十年内实施以氢为基础的能源经济，但到目前为止，实用的氢能源技术的交付已经被证明是难以捉摸的，氢的生产、储存和运输需要取得重大进展。这项研究将为安全和高效储氢技术的发展提供关键的一步，即提供氢与由廉价轻金属（如铝）制成的纳米结构材料相互作用的基本知识的基础研究。

While governments around the world are planning to implement a hydrogen-based energy economy in the next several decades, the delivery of practical hydrogen energy technology has proven elusive to date, with major developments required in the production, storage and transport of hydrogen. This research will undertake to provide one key step in the development of safe and efficient hydrogen storage, namely a fundamental study delivering basic knowledge of hydrogen interactions with nano-structured materials constructed from inexpensive light metals such as Aluminium.
