For (LiNH2+2LiH)@(6-nm PC), with its lower Δ𝐻, faster kinetics, and improved thermal transport compared with the bulk material, the VFM predicts that the aggressive US06 drive cycle can be completed by the nano-based storage system but not by the bulk material. At time zero the US06 drive cycle (Figure ) is initiated and the fuel cell begins to operate. The decrease in headspace hydrogen pressure and increase in bed temperature as hydrogen is burned to heat the hydride bed (to drive the hydrogen release reaction) as shown in Figure . For the nanomaterial, an initial headspace pressure as low as 70 bar ensures that sufficient H2 is available to heat the bed to the temperature required to maintain a hydrogen desorption rate sufficient to maintain operation of the fuel cell. without allowing the pressure to drop below the minimum needed to operate the fuel cell (at ~240 seconds). The drive cycle then continues, as most of the released hydrogen is delivered to the fuel cell, with some diverted to the burner to increase and then maintain the desorption temperature.
