Storage of hydrogen in an efficient and dense manner is still a challenge. In addition to the conventional technologies of compression and liquefaction, there are different approaches trying to enhance the storage density by bonding hydrogen to another substance. Physisorption and chemisorption to organic as well as inorganic carriers are options. Although many of these technologies have not yet gone beyond the technological readiness of lab scale tests, there are a few that have already reached advanced technological levels. The first part of this two‐part review discusses storage technics with recovery of elemental hydrogen.
