It has been suggested that H2 storage in metal hydrides is too heavy. Are there Lithium Hydrides? Lithium is extremely light that would work? > Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 13:32:02 -0500 > From: integral.property.serv...@gmail.com > To: vortex-l@eskimo.com > Subject: Re: [Vo]:Another Blast from the Past > > Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems 6, 45-54 (2003). © > J.
