Background
Currently, hydrogen storage systems and batteries are the most feasible options for storing energy. These two energy storage methods are either treated as complementary or substitute technologies depending on the energy storage application.
Batteries require lower maintenance, are easy to operate, and possess higher energy capacity, while hydrogen storage systems have better gravimetric and volumetric densities. However, hydrogen storage systems require either low or high temperatures for operation.
In this study, researchers reviewed the current technologies involving hydrogen storage…
