Hi Rudra,
Where are you seeing Bromine based hydrogen storage option in this snippet or in this concall? Mr. Goculdas is talking about Boron based hydrogen storage options.
because it cannot be piped easily or transported easily, you have to look at some source of solid form of hydrogen. And that’s where there is R&D work being done on some boron compounds which can store hydrogen…
What he is hinting at is the generation of hydrogen from solid boron-hydrogen compounds like sodium borohydride which release hydrogen on reaction with water, and does so more vigorously if a catalyst is present. This process is useful because the bi-product borax can be recycled back to sodium borohydride.
Research is ongoing to find a suitable low cost effective catalyst (the best catalyst is based on Platinum). Effecting the recycling process with low cost and high efficiency is also a desired goal.
