- Globally, the accelerating use of renewable energy sources, enabled by increased efficiencies and reduced costs, and driven by the need to mitigate the effects of climate change, has significantly increased research in the areas of renewable energy production, storage, distribution and end-use. Central to this discussion is the use of hydrogen, as a clean, efficient energy vector for energy storage. This review, by experts of Task 32, Hydrogen-based Energy Storage of the International Energy Agency, Hydrogen TCP, reports on the development over the last 6 years of hydrogen storage materials, methods and techniques, including electrochemical and thermal storage systems. An overview is given on the background to the various methods, the current state of development and the future prospects. The following areas are covered; porous materials, liquid hydrogen carriers, complex hydrides, intermetallic hydrides, electrochemical storage of energy, thermal energy storage, hydrogen energy systems and an outlook is presented for future prospects and research on hydrogen-based energy storage.

- While the overwhelming number of papers on multi-principal-element alloys (MPEAs) focus on the mechanical and microstructural properties, there has been growing interest in these alloys as solid-state hydrogen stores. We report here the synthesis optimization, the physicochemical and the hydrogen sorption properties of Ti0.325V0.275Zr0.125Nb0.275. This alloy was prepared by two methods, high temperature arc melting and ball milling under Ar, and crystallizes into a single-phase bcc structure. This MPEA shows a single transition from the initial bcc phase to a final bct dihydride and a maximum uptake of 1.7 H/M (2.5 wt%). Interestingly, the bct dihydride phase can be directly obtained by reactive ball milling under hydrogen pressure. The hydrogen desorption properties of the hydrides obtained by hydrogenation of the alloy prepared by arc melting or ball milling and by reactive ball milling have been compared. The best hydrogen sorption properties are shown by the material prepared by reactive ball milling. Despite a fading of the capacity for the first cycles, the reversible capacity of the latter material stabilizes around 2 wt%. To complement the experimental approach, a theoretical investigation combining a random distribution technique and first principle calculation was done to estimate the stability of the hydride.

- The new ternary compounds La15Ni13Bi5 and La9Ni8Sn5 were obtained by arc melting under argon from appropriate amounts of the elements and subsequent annealing at 800 °C for 2 weeks. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that they represent two new structure types: La15Ni13Bi5 crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P62m [hP33, a = 14.995(3), c = 4.3421(10) Å, V = 845.5(4) Å3, Z = 1] and La9Ni8Sn5 in P63/m [hP88, a = 23.870(15), c = 4.433(3) Å, V = 2187(3) Å3, Z = 4]. The crystal structures of both compounds are characterized by hexagonal honeycomb-based motifs formed by Ni and Sn that extend along the c axis. The building motif with its three-blade wind turbine shape is reminiscent of the organic molecule triptycene and is unprecedented in extended solids. First-principles calculations have been performed in order to analyze the electronic structure and provide insight into chemical bonding. They reveal significant electron transfer from La to Ni and the respective p-element, which supports the formation of the polyanionic Ni-p-element network. DFT calculations suggest paramagnetic-like behavior for both compounds, which was confirmed by magnetic measurements.

- Two series of isostructural intermetallics have been discovered in our search for new compounds with fused honeycomb motifs, both stable at elevated temperatures (1073 K). They crystallize with orthorhombic unit cells - La4Co4M (M = Sn, Sb, Te, Pb, Bi, SG Pbam, a = 8.247-8.315(2), b = 21.913-22.137(7), c = 4.750-4.664(2) angstrom, V = 850.5-869.5(4) angstrom 3, Z = 4) and La3Ni3M (M = Al, Ga, SG Cmcm, a = 4.1790-4.2395(1), b = 10.4921-10.6426 (6), c = 13.6399-13.7616(8) angstrom, V = 606.72-612.05(7), Z = 3). The crystal structures represent interesting variations of semiregular tilings of corrugated anionic layers and predominantly cationic zigzag motifs. The La4Co4M compounds reveal a complex type of ordering with a high degree of frustration as could be expected for the Kagome ' -related lattices, while magnetic ordering in the La3Ni3M series is less evident. Electronic structure calculations have been performed for multiple compounds within both series revealing metallic character and visible local minima around the Fermi level. The bonding picture is characterized by nearly equal contributions from the anionic and the cationic components.
