Metallic Hydrides I: Hydrogen Storage and Other Gas- Phase Applications

  • Published:
MRS Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A brief survey is given of the various classes of metal alloys and compounds that are suitable for hydrogen-storage and energy-conversion applications. Comparisons are made of relevant properties including hydrogen absorption and desorption pressures, total and reversible hydrogen-storage capacity, reaction-rate kinetics, initial activation requirements, susceptibility to contamination, and durability during long-term thermal cycling. Selected applications are hydrogen storage as a fuel, gas separation and purification, thermal switches, and sorption cryocoolers.
