Newly Emerging 2D MX enes for Hydrogen Storage

The development of an efficient system for hydrogen ( H 2 ) storage and its utilization in day-to-day life became a major concern for the research community as conventional fossil fuels are becoming extinct. H 2 can be stored in various ways but storing H 2 solid-state is more convenient as it needs less amount of energy as compared to other techniques. Solid-state storage requires novel and efficient materials to perform H 2 sorption kinetics. The stable, reversible storage potential of MXenes has made them unique and promising materials for H 2 storage application. MXenes are studied widely as a catalyst for hydride material in solid-state H 2 storage because of their two-dimensional ( 2D ) structure, high surface-to-volume ratio, and good reactivity. This chapter focuses on the recent advances of MXene as a promising 2D material highlighting the unique synthesis processes and their novel applications for H 2 storage.
