Analysis of Research Status and Development Trend of Hydrogen Storage Technology

Hydrogen storage technology, playing the role of connecting hydrogen energy production with application, determines the large-scale application of hydrogen energy. We use bibliometric analysis of hydrogen storage research in order to get a view of research status and development trend of hydrogen storage technology. The results show that the research on hydrogen storage technology has turned from the rapid growth stage to the in-depth research stage. The basis discipline of hydrogen storage alloy, including the composition of its additives and catalyst, as well as its internal structure and ways of improving its performance. Baseonanalyzing the citation/frequency burst of researchkeywords, the key research topic in the future is mainly to study the stability and hydrogen release performance of magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys at a specific temperature, and the exploring structure and composition of material through nanoparticles. The key research teams worthy of attention are YU XB team of the Chinese academy of sciences; PAN HG team of Zhejiang university; ZHANG YH team of Inner Mongolia university of technology; SAKAI T team of Osaka Electro-Communication University; FUJII H team of Hiroshima university; LIU HK team of University of Wollongong.
