Multiscale modeling of hydrogen storage in nanomaterials

Fuel cells operated vehicles are most attractive alternative to current gasoline base vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment. Fuel cells used Hydrogen as fuel and therefore it is need to be stored on-board. Due to light weight of hydrogen special storage mechanism is necessary to store the adequate quantity. All available options have own limitations and to find the ultimate solution to hydrogen storage continue research is required. In proposed research work simulation will be performed to understand charging and discharging of hydrogen into carbon base solid state material consists of several layers. The understanding of this mechanism will help to design the experiment in more efficient way. Partner organization will receive expertise in terms of modeling and simulation for hydrogen storage that will help to design the prototype of hydrogen storage tank and scale up for future market applications.
