摘要:
A fuel cell. The anode of the fuel cell comprises a hydrogen oxidation catalyst comprising a finely divided metal alloy particulate. The metal alloy particulate has an average particle size of less than about 100 Angstroms.
摘要:
A BCC phase hydrogen storage alloy capable of storing approximately 4.0 wt. % hydrogen and delivering reversibly up to 3.0 wt. % hydrogen at temperatures up to 110° C. The hydrogen storage alloys also possess excellent kinetics whereby up to 80% of the hydrogen storage capacity of the hydrogen storage alloy may be reached in 30 seconds and 80% of the total hydrogen storage capacity may be desorbed from the hydrogen storage alloy in 90 seconds. The hydrogen storage alloys also have excellent stability which provides for long cycle life.
摘要:
A magnesium-based hydrogen storage material including magnesium or a magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy and a hydrogen desorption catalyst which is insoluble in said magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy and is in the form of: 1) discrete dispersed regions of catalytic material in the bulk of said magnesium or magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy; 2) discrete dispersed regions on the surface of particles of said magnesium or magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy; 3) a continuous or semi-continuous layer of catalytic material on the surface of said magnesium or magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy which is in bulk or particulate form; or 4) combinations thereof. Methods of producing the material are also disclosed.
