The object
Patricia de Rango co-developed solid-state magnesium-hydride storage that packages hydrogen in engineered material discs and tanks rather than only in compressed-gas cylinders. The physical storage approach aims to improve compactness and safety while retaining a research-to-deployment boundary.
01
What Patricia did
Co-developed the research team's magnesium-hydride storage material and tank architecture.
02
Why it matters
The work converted metal-hydride science into tested tank hardware for stationary and transport-oriented hydrogen-storage applications.
03
Living-status check
A January 2026 French national hydrogen-programme newsletter names de Rango coordinator of the SOLHYD project; a 2024 article also records her authorship on hydrogen-sorption research.
