Abstract
We show how reducing structure, catalysis and atomic reactions to the nano- scale may be used in a systematic way to substantially enhance the hydrogen ation properties of metal hydrides. We examine, with examples from a wide r ange of hydrides, the direct impact of nano-scale structure, subsequent imp rovements in kinetics through nanoscale solid state catalysis, the special properties of nanocomposites, and the role played by nano-scale reactions.
