Answer:
Liquid \[{{H}_{2}}\] can be
stored relatively easily and safely in cryogenic tanks. It is also feasible to
transport liquid \[{{H}_{2}}\]byroad or rail tankers. It can also be stored in
underground tanks and transported by pipe-lines.
However, it may not be
convenient to store liquid \[{{H}_{2}}\] in a home or in a car since its
boiling point is very low. The only alternative left is to store \[{{H}_{2}}\]
in a metal or in an alloy as interstitial hydride. The gas can be released on
mild heating.
A different approach involves reacting
the\[{{H}_{2}}\] with certain metals to produce hydrides which when reacted
with water produce hydrogen which can be burned.
\[Li+\frac{1}{2}{{H}_{2}}\to
LiH\]
\[LiH+{{H}_{2}}O\to
LiOH++{{H}_{2}}\]
