Unlike batteries that may lose charge over time due to self-discharge during storage, hydrogen, as an energy storage medium, distinguishes itself from electrochemical storage by its capacity to be stored indefinitely without significant energy depletion, thereby positioning it as a potential future energy carrier [6].
The storage of hydrogen is one of the fundamental requirements for the evolution of the hydrogen energy system. There are currently three principle methods available for hydrogen storage: as a pressurised gas, as a cryogenic liquid and as a metal hydride. 5 A major challenge for effective hydrogen storage is related to its physical properties.
Electrochemical hydrogen storage is the adsorption of hydrogen atoms on the adsorbent material at room temperature and ambient pressure with the electrochemical decomposition of an aqueous electrolyte medium [31, 75–77].
Advancing sustainable and clean energy technology is crucial in addressing the current energy and environmental crisis. Hydrogen has garnered significant attention as an energy carrier due to its abundance, high energy density, and zero carbon emissions. Given the challenges associated with hydrogen storage and transportation, the electrolysis of ammonia

Electrolysis converts electrical energy into chemical energy by storing electrons in the form of stable chemical bonds. The chemical energy can be used as a fuel or converted back to electricity when needed.
Conventional water electrolysis produces H 2 and O 2 at cathode and anode simultaneously. Although both electrodes are separated by an ion-exchange membrane, potential gas crossover to form explosive H 2 /O 2
Conventional water electrolysis produces H 2 and O 2 at cathode and anode simultaneously. Although both electrodes are separated by an ion-exchange membrane, potential gas crossover to form explosive H 2 /O 2 mixtures presents a serious safety issue.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction is a promising method of producing sustainable chemicals and fuels, yet is highly energy intensive. Here, the authors couple CO2 electrolysis with hydrogen oxidation
This means that the overall energy demand of the electrolysis reaction (including heat) is supplied electrically. The thermoneutral cell voltage is approx. 1.47–1.48 V (284–286 kJ/mol H2) feeding liquid water below 100 °C while it reduces to 1.26–1.29 V (243–249 kJ/mol H2) in the temperature range of 100–1000 °C if steam is supplied (see Fig. 1).
Hydrogen chloride is produced as a by-product in industrial processes on a million-ton scale. Since HCl is inherently dangerous, its storage and transport are avoided by, e.g., on-site electrolysis providing H 2 and Cl 2
Hydrogen Energy Storage. Paul Breeze, in Power System Energy Storage Technologies, 2018. Abstract. Hydrogen energy storage is another form of chemical energy storage in which electrical power is converted into hydrogen. This energy can then be released again by using the gas as fuel in a combustion engine or a fuel cell.
Electrolysis is a promising option for carbon-free hydrogen production from renewable and nuclear resources. Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction takes place in a unit called an electrolyzer. Electrolyzers can range in size from small, appliance-size equipment that is well
Beside the increased use of renewable energies and electrical energy storage systems, the production of sustainable hydrogen as a precursor for synthetic fuels is the third central building block of the energy transition. During electrolysis, water is broken down into the gases hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) using an electric current.

High entropy materials (HEMs) have developed rapidly in the field of electrocatalytic water-electrolysis for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their unique properties. In particular, HEM catalysts are composed of many elements. Therefore, they have rich active sites and enhanced entropy stability relative to
The process of electrochemical storage of hydrogen involves two steps: charging and then discharging. One of the effective parameters in the amount of storage as well as the use of stored hydrogen in the system is the amount of current density in each of the charging and discharging steps.
Although the latter is not a direct hydrogen storage, it is still the same system, and similar considerations are required to develop such anode materials in the practical cells. Electrochemical hydrogen storage is (or can be) the basis of various types of fuel cells. Hydrogen storing materials can be used as anodes of alkaline fuel cells.
