Using X-ray science to hit hydrogen storage targets
News Article, November 7, 2023 • Using soft X-ray techniques available through Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source (ALS), a Sandia team including Mark Allendorf and Farid El Gabaly with collaborators from the Hydrogen Materials Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC) are probing the chemistry of promising hydrogen storage materials to understand how they absorb and release hydrogen. The...

Video: Validating models for safety codes and standards
News Article, May 10, 2024 • Earlier this year, a test series at Sandia collected data to validate the models used for hydrogen safety codes and standards. Go behind the scenes with the research team who ran the test with partners from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and support from US DOE Office of Energy Efficiency...
