Document:
engineering and process development to accelerate the transition of the best hydrogen storage materials to a commercial reality.
The unique SNL capabilities are rooted in interdisciplinary research that enables self-assembled materials, tailored alloys, multicomponent composites, destabilized and nanostructured metal hydrides to be conceived, synthesized, characterized and evaluated for vehicular hydrogen storage. The team’s expertise ranges from solid-state physics, surface chemistry, materials theory, simulation, design, and synthesis to using state-of-the-art instruments to evaluate materials performance under various process parameters and extreme environments. Phase equilibrium codes using a large thermochemical hydride database developed by Sandia are used to predict the plateau hydrogen pressure and concentration of all relevant species at equilibrium. State-of-the-art experimental capabilities available at Sandia and through our technical collaborations include numerous glove-boxes and Schlenk lines, high-pressure stations (>2000 bar H2 pressure), PCT and Sieverts instruments, in situ X-Ray and neutron diffraction, SEM, STM, TEM, TGA-DSC, STMBMS, FTIR, Raman, NMR and synchrotron-based soft-x-ray emission and absorption spectroscopies. Multiple cutting-edge studies are carried out through collaborations with other national laboratories, universities and companies.
