The ongoing population explosion has led to the rapid consumption of different energy sources. The continuous demand for energy and its associated services for socio-economic development is concerning due to the reduction of natural energy sources. Therefore, research to explore clean and sustainable energy sources to fulfill this energy demand has continuously been conducted over the past decades. Hydrogen is widely accepted as a possible energy carrier owing to its advantages, such as ease of availability, renewability, and environmentally friendly nature. Hydrogen storage in the liquid or gaseous form poses safety and transportation challenges. In this context, metal hydrides are a vital solution. This review article discusses unique collections of HEA-based metal hydrides for the first time in conjunction with conventional metal hydrides. This article can potentially guide the materials research community in understanding the current challenges associated with designing novel hydrogen storage alloys from a clean energy perspective and their applications.
