Abstract
A novel hydrogen absorption material is provided comprising a mixture of a lithium hydride with a fullerene. The subsequent reaction product provides for a hydrogen storage material which reversibly stores and releases hydrogen at temperatures of about 270° C.
Claims9
A hydrogen storage composition according to the formula LixC60Hy where x has a value of between 1 to 10 and y has a value of between 0 to 70, and the composition reversibly stores and releases 5 wt % hydrogen and the composition is formed by a solvent-based incorporation of lithium hydride and a fullerene which is subsequently heated to a first hydrogen desorption temperature.
