Production and storage technology pertinent to the Hydrogen Program at Brookhaven National Laboratory is briefly described. The major development areas deal with advanced water-electrolysis systems, hydrogen storage materials and systems, and end-use applications. Related work by organizations having contracts managed by BNL is included. Work on hydrogen production deals with improving the system for KOH electrolysis, and on developing the acidic solid-polymer-electrolyte system for the electrolysis of water. The advantages of the techniques for storing hydrogen via metal hydrides and hollow glass microspheres are described. TiFe-based hydride has been tested as an energy storage medium for electric energy storage, for automotive fuel, and for bulk hydrogen storage. Pairs of selected hydrides have been used in tests simulating a solar-driven heat pump. The pressure-temperature characteristics of hydrides are being utilized in development of a hydrogen chemical compressor. Glass microspheres are being studied for the automotive fuel application.
