NOVELTY - The method comprises mixing a preselected ratio of hydrogen storage and releasing compound in a solvent to form a solution, wetting a porous support (100) with the solution, and drying the porous support to form a bulk-scaffolded hydrogen storage and releasing material. The hydrogen storage and releasing compound is combined with the porous support by depositing, coating, layering, physisorbing, chemisorbing, chemically binding, wetting and/or polymerizing. The bulk-scaffolded storage and releasing material includes 30-99 wt.% of quantity of the hydrogen storage and releasing compound.    USE - The method is useful for making a bulk-scaffolded hydrogen storage and releasing material, which is useful in a hydrogen fuel source of a fuel cell system, a combustion engine system, an electrically powered device and an automobile (all claimed), where the fuel cells are useful to provide energy in devices such as laptops and cell phones and to power accessories such as air conditioners, radios, power windows, sun roofs and global positioning satellite devices in automobiles.    ADVANTAGE - The method is capable of efficiently and rapidly making the bulk-scaffolded hydrogen storage and releasing material with excellent air and water stability and faster release rates at low release temperatures without unwanted side reactions thus preserving desired levels of purity and enabling applications in combustion and fuel cell applications and providing greater capacities for storage and release of hydrogen in a pure state.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method comprises mixing a preselected ratio of hydrogen storage and releasing compound in a solvent to form a solution, wetting a porous support (100) with the solution, and drying the porous support to form a bulk-scaffolded hydrogen storage and releasing material. The hydrogen storage and releasing compound is combined with the porous support by depositing, coating, layering, physisorbing, chemisorbing, chemically binding, wetting and/or polymerizing. The bulk-scaffolded storage and releasing material includes 30-99 wt.% of quantity of the hydrogen storage and releasing compound, and 70-1 wt.% of preselected quantity of the porous support. The porous support is a microporous material having a pore sizes of 50-1000 nm. The porous support comprises 20% porosity by volume. The support is doped with metal ion or metal oxide. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a bulk-scaffolded hydrogen storage and releasing material.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a high resolution transmission electron micrograph showing a cross-sectional view of a support having a porous silicate template.    Support. (100)
