INTRODUCTION. Motivation: The Hydrogen Economy. Brief, synchronic history of development of hydrides and nanomaterials. Nanoprocessing in solid-state in high energy ball mills. Important hydride properties and experimental techniques -- SIMPLE METAL AND INTERMETALLIC HYDRIDES. Mg/MgH2. Mg/MgH2 with catalytic additives. Other metal hydrides containing Mg. AlH3. Other metal and intermetallic-based hydrides-new developments -- COMPLEX HYDRIDES. Ternary transition metal complex hydrides. Alanates. Amides. Metal borohydrides. Destabilization of high desorption temperature hydrides by (nano)compositing -- CARBONS AND NANOCARBONS. Diamond and nanodiamonds. Graphene, ordered graphite and nanographites. Disordered and active carbons. Highly-ordered fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and other nanoshapes.
