Metal and chemical hydrides as hydrogen (energy) storage materials

- light hydrides: borohydrides, amides etc.Â

- synthesis: by mechanochemical methods, under high pressure in diamond anvil cells, by wet chemistryÂ

- crystallography: single-crystal and powder diffraction; synchrotron X-rays and neutronsÂ

- in-situ powder diffraction to study properties and transformations: under gas or hydrostatic pressure, reactivity and phase transitions at high/low temperatures, thermal decomposition, reversibility of hydrogen releaseÂ

- trapping and characterization of intermediate phasesÂ
Porous materials: inorganic polymers, MOFs, gas absorption
Development of sample environment for in-situ diffraction studies
