Abstract
Hydrogen storage has been a key issue to utilize hydrogen as a next generation energy source(1). The difficulties of hydrogen storage and transportation have limited its applications. The metal hydride and liquid hydrogen have been mainly discussed as targeting systems (2,3). Chemical hydrogen storage was regarded as a good candidate in terms of economical point of view(4). Hydrogenation of nitrogen and carbon dioxide to form ammonia and methanol, respectively, were considered for this purpose (eq. 1, 2). Those are hydrogen storage methods in molecular level, which can store large amounts of hydrogen in weight ( NH3: 17.64w% CH3OH: 18.75w%).
