| 1. A hydrogen storage matter containing at least a nano-structured and organized lithium imide compound precursor complex,
wherein the lithium imide compound precursor complex has been nano-structured and organized by mixing fine powder lithium
amide with fine powder lithium hydride at a predetermined ratio to prepare a mixture as a starting material, and then processing
the mixture by a predetermined complex formation processing method, and the lithium imide compound precursor complex further
comprises, as a catalyst to enhance a hydrogen absorption and release function, one or more of metal simple substances selected
from the group consisting of C, B, Mg, V, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, In, La and Nd, or one or more
of alloys or compounds thereof, and has been formed by subjecting a mixture of the fine powder lithium hydride, the fine powder
lithium amide, and the catalyst to a mechanical milling process in which the mixture is subjected to repeated microscopic
collisions with crushing medium in an atmosphere of an inert gas, hydrogen gas, or nitrogen gas, or a mixed atmosphere thereof.
