Summary: The study proposes a light-mediated catalytic strategy that utilizes the coupling of photothermal and catalytic effects to achieve reversible hydrogen storage. Experimental results demonstrate that complete hydrogen release is achieved within 7 minutes under light irradiation for NaAlH4 with the catalysis of TiO2@C. The strategy is also applicable to other light metal hydrides and provides an alternative approach to electric heating.

Summary: Adding 10wt% spherical SrTiO3 catalyst can decrease the onset desorption temperature and enhance the desorption kinetics of NaAlH4. The decrease in apparent activation energy and improvement in desorption properties of NaAlH4 are attributed to the reduction of the physical structure of NaAlH4 by SrTiO3 during ball milling.
