Materials design and modification on amide-based composites for hydrogen storage

Amide-based composite system has the potential to meet the needs of onboard hydrogen storage for fuel cell vehicles due to its relatively high hydrogen capacity and tunable thermodynamics. A large number of amide hydride and amide complex hydride composites have been developed in the past decades. This article reviews the state-of-the-arts of amide hydride composite systems with the focus on the materials design and modification. (c) 2012 Chinese Materials Research Society.
