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 hydrogenation properties of metal hydrides. We examine, with examples from a wide range of hydrides, the direct impact of nano-scale structure, subsequent improvements in kinetics through nano-scale solid state catalysis, the special properties of nano-composites, and the role played by nano-scale reactions.
