Recent progress in hydrogen-rich materials from the perspective of bonding flexibility of hydrogen

The bonding flexibility of hydrogen is a source of various interesting functionalities in hydrides. Here, we illustrate the benefits of this flexibility through several selected examples of recent progress in the development of hydrogen storage materials. From the viewpoint of electronegativity, we discuss the diverse cohesion and materials science underlying the bonding flexibility of hydrogen in hydrides.
