A METHOD FOR PREPARING A REVERSIBLE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIAL

摘要

Novel materials having the ability to reversibly store hydrogen are amorphous metal alloys of the formula A8MbM min c wherein A is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ag, Au, Hg, Pd and Pt; M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of: Ru, Pb, Cu, Cr, Mo, Si, W, Ni, Al, Sn, Co, Fe, Zn, Cd, Ga and Mn; and M min is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ca, Mg, Ti, Y, Zr, Hf, Nb, V, Ta and the rare earths; and wherein a ranges from about 0.005 to about 0.80; b ranges from about 0.05 to about 0.70; and c ranges from about 0.08 to about 0.95.
