METAL HYDRIDES FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE: A REVIEW OF THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH, AND CRITICALLY COMPILED DATA

摘要: ABSTRACT This paper presents tables of physical property data for some metal hydrides interest hydrogen storage. The three candidate materials FeTi, LaNi 5 , and Mg 2 Ni are primarily covered; less complete other promising such as the AB Laves phases well alloys based on first mentioned compounds given. properties include deuterium diffusion parameters, hydriding rates, crystal structures, plateau pressures, heats formation, phase diagram information. Many sensitive to compound stoichiometry impurity. Some surface contamination structure studies in relation reviewed. Local atomic configurations, electron distribution bonding calculations leading a correlation volume changes induced by formation those reviewed newly calculated results theoretical work suggests neutral (deuterium) atoms, rather than protonic atoms.
