HYDROGEN STORAGE BY BINARY AND TERNARY INTERMETALLICS FOR ENERGY APPLICATIONS - A REVIEW

摘要

Binary and ternary intermetallic compounds are being considered as a possible solution to storage problems in the use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel for many applications. For selected systems, this report reviews and summarizes theories of storage optimization, experimental procedures, property data, potential applications for stationary and mobile energy storage, resource and economic analyses, and safety factors. The systems surveyed are those binary, ternary, and complex intermetallic compounds containing a member of the transition element series, a member of the rare earth series, and/or a member of the actinide series.
