Cover Story: Hydrogen (H2) transportation and storage remain the main challenges for the rapid take-off of a sustainable H2 economy. Many studies have been undertaken to increase H2 storage efficiency by exploiting either chemisorption or physisorption processes, or through entrapment on different porous solid materials. Among these, biomass-derived carbons represent a category of robust, efficient, and low-cost materials which can also be doped with heteroatoms, such as boron, with the aim of increasing bonding interactions with H2. In this article, the main hydrogen storage methods, as well as the currently available techniques for the boronation of biomass-derived activated carbonaceous matrices, are discussed highlighting the advantages and drawbacks for each of them.
