🧠 What It Means
Materials like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and zeolites fall into this category.
Enable high-density hydrogen storage at lower pressures.
Ideal for compact and lightweight storage systems.
❗ Key Challenges
Still mostly in research and pilot phases.
Cost and scalability are major barriers.
Thermal stability and material fatigue are concerns.
