To conduct research to develop hydrogen storage technologies.

Deleted 02/05/2016 (Archived.) 20.764 Agency: Department of Transportation
Office: Research and Innovative Technology Administration PROJECT GRANTS Fiscal Year 2013: During this fiscal year the following work is planned:
• Continue studying hydrogen storage properties and other carbon materials
• Continue to perform absorption and desorption kinetics and modeling studies on several catalyzed based systems using constant pressure driving forces
• Use techniques to determine if dehrogenation is accompanied by the release of other gaseous byproducts such as ammonia and diborane
• Continue with the design, fabrication and demonstration of a hydride-based hydrogen storage system that is on-going with our collaborators at the University of Delaware.
