On March 25, the national R&D project of hydrogen storage in solid form was first launched in Guangzhou and Kunming at the same time. This project serves the energy storage of photovoltaic power generation. The method of this technology is to make hydrogen atoms to be attached to the pores of the alloy. Hydrogen gas will be released when the temperature is raised. The stored hydrogen will be used to generate electricity along with the solar system. Source: https://news.bjx.com.cn
