Boron as a hydrogen storage method and its environmental impacts

Abstract

Increasing industrialization in parallel with the rapid development of technology, increasing electrification due to population growth and other factors such as mobility are increasing the need for energy. The limited availability of fossil fuels and their environmental impacts make clean energy sources more important in energy supply. In this context, hydrogen, as an alternative energy source, stands out as a clean, sustainable and easily accessible source and energy carrier. However, efficient and safe storage and transportation of hydrogen is one of the biggest obstacles to the widespread use of this energy source. At this point, boron is an element that attracts attention in the field of hydrogen storage thanks to its high hydrogen storage capacity and low cost. Considering that Türkiye is at the top in terms of boron reserves, the use of boron in hydrogen storage will become more important. In this study, hydrogen, hydrogen storage methods and one of these methods, borohydrides, will be discussed and then information will be given about the environmental effects of hydrogen, boron and borohydrides.
