Are There More Efficient Ways to Store Hydrogen for Fuel Cells?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an experimental idea for efficient hydrogen storage for fuel cells. The main concept involves using cooling and pressure to convert hydrogen into a liquid form for compact storage. However, concerns are raised about the energy consumption of this method potentially exceeding the benefits of hydrogen production. The original poster is seeking feedback and alternative suggestions for improving hydrogen storage solutions. A link to a related article on enhancing hydrogen storage capacity through innovative materials is also shared for further exploration.

I've been toying around with an experimental idea for an efficient way to store hydrogen for use in hydrogen fuel cells, but recently I haven't been able to think of much more to add to it.

I've thought of using cooling and pressure together to put the hydrogen to a liquid form for more compact storage, but the energy use of such a device would outweigh the production.

If any of you have better ways of dealing with this idea, please post feedback. It would be appreciated :smile:

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
