In this research, a prototype for solid-state hydrogen storage tank based on LiAlH4-
TiF3 composite is been developed as the source to minimize the tank space and provide
high capacity of hydrogen gas. The hydrogen storage tank system can heat up the
composite up to 100-200˚C and release hydrogen gases up to 7wt%. It has been
demonstrated that the tank system could supply the hydrogen to a prototype fuel cell
car and produce voltage from the fuel cell. The designed system introduced could
provide an early concept and knowledge before the design of the prototype fuel-cell
car can be manufacture in a real scale to solve the environmental issues associated
with burning fossil fuels.
