The world is swiftly moving towards the renewable sources of energy owing to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and detrimental impacts of green house gases on mankind and environment. Hydrogen is gaining more importance in the technical community around the globe as an energy carrier for the on-board vehicular applications. Solid state hydrogen storage is relatively emerged as an alternative option for storing hydrogen on-board as the conventional technologies viz., high pressure compression and cryogenic liquefaction failed to meet the storage goals. Profound research has been done to improve the hydrogenation properties of intermetallic compounds. The current paper aims at reviewing the latest advancements in the properties of intermetallic compounds for solid-state hydrogen storage applications viz., adsorption/desorption pressure and temperature, kinetics, hydrogen-storage capacity and cyclic stability.
