    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus for measuring the gas absorbing and/or desorbing characteristics of a substance having a property to absorb a gas. The apparatus comprises a sample container for containing the substance, a gas storage connected to the sample container for storing the gas until a predetermined pressure is reached, a gas supply source for supplying the gas to the gas storage, a first valve provided on a line connecting the gas supply source to the gas storage, a second valve provided on the line between the first valve and the gas storage, and a third valve provided on a gas discharge line connected to the line between the first and second valves, the first to third valves being each a two-position valve having an open position and a closed position, the valves defining a region thereby surrounded and serving as a preliminary storage for temporarily holding the gas when the gas is supplied or discharged. The substance having the gas absorbing property is, for example, a hydrogen absorbing alloy, and the gas is hydrogen.

    摘要: A hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode utilizes as an electrode material a hydrogen-absorbing alloy having selectively oriented crystals, which is expressed in terms of a specific maximum value obtained from analysis of powder X-ray diffractometry. This electrode, in which the hydrogen-absorbing alloy used is hardly pulverized upon repeated charge-discharge cycles and oxidation thereof is suppressed, gives metal hydride alkaline secondary batteries having excellent cycle characteristics. A method for evaluating hydogen-absorbing alloys for electrode comprises, utilizing the fact that there exists a clear relationship between specific parameters obtained by analyzing data based on the hydrogen-absorbing alloy to be evaluated and the characteristics of the electrode obtained therefrom, preparing and using analytical curves with the specific parameters. This method can evaluate rapidly and precisely various characteristics of hydrogen-absorbing alloys for electrode, without actually fabricating test cells therefrom.

    摘要: A fuel cell system for directly converting chemical energy of a fuel into electric energy electrochemically. A fuel cell has a cathode and an anode. A main hydrogen absorbing alloy supplies a hydrogen gas to the anode of the fuel cell during steady-state operation of the system. An auxiliary hydrogen absorbing alloy originally having a higher hydrogen gas absorbing/desorbing equilibrium pressure than the main hydrogen absorbing alloy at an equal temperature supplies a hydrogen gas to the anode until the equilibrium pressure of the main hydrogen absorbing alloy, which is supplied an exhaust gas from the fuel cell is equal to a hydrogen gas absorbing/desorbing equilibrium pressure of the auxiliary hydrogen absorbing alloy, the auxiliary hydrogen absorbing alloy receiving the hydrogen gas from the main hydrogen absorbing alloy during steady-state operation.
