Magnesium hydride owns the largest share of publications on solid materials for hydrogen storage. The group international experts contributing to IEA Task 32 Hydrogen Based Energy Storage recently published two review papers presenting activities focused magnesium based and Mg compounds energy This article not only overviews latest both fundamental aspects Mg-based hydrides their applications, but also presents a historic overview topic outlines projected future developments. Particular...
Liquid hydrogen carriers are considered to be attractive storage options because of their ease integration into existing chemical transportation infrastructures when compared with liquid or compressed hydrogen.

Industrial ammonia synthesis catalyzed by Fe- and Ru-based catalysts is an energy-consuming process. The development of low-temperature active catalyst has been pursued for a century. Herein, we report that barium hydride (BaH2) can synergize with Co, leading to much better activity, i.e., the BaH2-Co/carbon nanotube (CNT) exhibits activity right above 150 °C; at 300 °C, it 2 orders magnitude higher than BaO-Co/CNTs more 2.5-times Cs-promoted Ru/MgO.
