"As the world tries to move away from fossil fuels, hydrogen is thought to be an alternative energy carrier because it can be efficiently used to generate electricity in fuel cells without pollution. [1,2] To implement this fuel cell based hydrogen economy, however, we need to have practical solutions to controlled storage and release of hydrogen. [2,3] Currently established hydrogen storage technologies include compressing hydrogen at high pressures (350 or 700 bar), liquefying hydrogen at low temperatures (below 20.3 K), or storing hydrogen as chemical/metal hydrides. These technologies, however, suffer from high costs, low energy densities, loss of hydrogen, and safety issues. [4,5]"
