This is a research network of 12 research group in the Nordic countries, including Baltic and Northwest Russia.

The goal is to synthesize, characterize and model new materials that can be used as the primary component in hydrogen storage for mobile applications, such as cars and boats.

LEI activities in the Project

The goals of this project are two-fold:

to fabricate catalyzed Mg(AlH₄)₂ films by introduction of strictly controlled quantities of titanium and zirconium catalysts during film deposition employing simultaneous co-deposition of Mg, Al and catalyst atoms;
to study the hydriding/dehydriding properties of the catalyzed Mg(AlH₄)₂ films in an attempt to understand the catalyst(s) influencing the alanate reactions.
