The use of a coolant is necessary to regulate temperature in hydrogen storage tank based on metal hydrides. What kind of coolant is more efficient and most used actually?
Our RG colleague, Professor Issam Mudawar of Purdue University, has led research in this topic. Please, see the links below.

Article Active cooling of a metal hydride system for hydrogen storage
Hi, based on my experience, for transition metal hydrides with enthalpy of absorption about 30kJ/mol H2, water as a coolant worked well in keeping the temperature constant during exothermic hydriding process as well during the endothermic dehydriding process. . However, proper designing of the heat and mass transfer aspect is important.
