Metal hydride based solid state hydrogen storage devices have garnered substantial interest owing to their potential in facilitating clean and efficient energy storage for various applications. However, effective thermal management remains a critical aspect influencing their performance and safety. This review comprehensively explores the thermal management strategies employed in metal hydride-based systems, encompassing heat transfer mechanisms, materials design, and engineering approaches. Various thermal management techniques, including passive and active cooling methods, heat exchangers, and advanced modelling techniques, are studied in detail. Furthermore, challenges and opportunities in enhancing the thermal performance and operational reliability of these systems are discussed. The insights provided in this review aim to contribute to the advancement of metal hydride-based solid-state hydrogen storage devices. By highlighting the significance of thermal management, this review provides actionable insights for researchers and engineers aiming to enhance the efficiency, safety, and real-world applicability of metal hydride hydrogen storage devices, thereby contributing to the broader goal of sustainable energy solutions.
