Cover Picture: Nanotechnological Aspects in Materials for Hydrogen Storage (Adv. Eng. Mater. 6/2005)

The cover shows the schematic structure of an aluminum and magnesium containing hydrogen storage material. More about nanotechnological aspects in materials for hydrogen storage can be found in the article by M. Fichtner on page 443. A nanotechnological app#roach aims at making tailor-made developments for storage materials by combining different scientific disciplines and focussing on processes on the microscale. The approach has already been successful in achieving major advances in the field of novel solid materials for hydrogen storage. However, further breakthroughs are necessary to reach the goal of storage systems for fuel cell-driven, mobile applications.
