Abstract: Self-assembled strontium aluminum oxide (Sr₃Al₂O₆)/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via an in-situ preparation technique. Prior to nanocomposites preparation, nonscale Sr₃Al₂O₆ was synthesized by a facial solution combustion method using glucose as a reductant (fuel). The lattice structure of Sr₃Al₂O₆ was identified in its XRD patterns. Electrochemical hydrogen storage property of the samples (host, sensitizer, nanocomposites) was recorded to be around 3100, 2500 and 4000 mAh/g after 15 cycles, respectively.
 
Keywords: Nanostructures; Sr₃Al₂O₆; copper phthalocyanine; hydrogen storage.
