ABSTRACT
The development of efficient and safe hydrogen storage systems includes the design and fabrication of containment and auxiliary components (i.e., the so-called engineering issues). Whether hydrogen storage is via physical or chemical means, this hardware must address initial and long-term performance requirements for the desired application [1-5]. Furthermore, the engineering process will impact overall cost and system-level performances [6, 7]. Since H2 gas is highly flammable, all storage systems need to be configured and constructed to minimize its leakage into any confined spaces, such as engine or passenger compartments within vehicles or the structures where the hydrogen-powered devices are kept or operated [8]. The chemical reactivity of candidate chemical storage
