Abstract

Over ten years, hydrogen energy has been applied in transportation. The infrastructure has been built and still in progress but construction can be expensive, estimated to be $1 to $2 million per hydrogen station. Hydrogen energy is clean with zero pollution. Hydrogen is a suitable source of energy since it can easily be used in automobiles similar to gasoline. The main concern is the onboard storage, which is considered as one of main barriers for utilizing hydrogen as a source of fuel. The main concern is the storage of hydrogen to be safely applied. There is a development in the hydrogen storage materials, especially nanomaterials. Recently, polyaniline is shown to possess outstanding hydrogen storage properties by carefully modifying the nanostructure of the material. By reducing the crystallite size of the hydrogen storage material such as hydride materials, nanolayered materials, the hydrogen storage can be improved. More research is needed to increase and to improve the efficiency of hydrogen storage materials
