Abstract
The energy requirement of the world has been increasing due to increase in world population, technological development and
increased living standards. A large fraction (~85 %) of the power consumed in the world is generated by burning of fossil fuels.
The fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas are non-renewable and are expected to last for another 40 to 60 years based on
current energy consumption. The other critical issue is the global warming, which is mainly caused by CO2 emissions generated from
the combustion of fossil fuels. As a consequence, investigations of alternate energy strategies have recently become important. The
most important requirement of alternative energy sources is their environmental compatibility. The fact that burning of hydrogen
produces only harmless water vapors, hydrogen is likely to become one of the most attractive energy carriers in the future. It is
important to develop technologies for economical production of hydrogen and for manufacturing compact containers for storage of
hydrogen. There are several different methods for storage of hydrogen, the most common of them are:
A. Compressed gas storage in tanks,
B. Liquid hydrogen storage at low temperatures and
C. Storage of gas in solid materials. It is seen that the methods and materials developed till today, are not satisfactory (especially not economical) and thus the development of hydrogen storage materials is an active field of research.
Several different pharmacosiderites have been prepared and characterized using advanced techniques such as X-ray diffraction,
SEM etc. It is seen that these compounds have porous structure and hopefully hydrogen can be stored in these pores. Arrangements
are made to study the hydrogen uptake in the synthesized samples at IIT, Mumbai. Results of our studies as regards preparation and
characterization of above compounds will be presented.
