摘要:
Atomically engineered hydrogen storage alloys which include a spectrum of hydrogen bonding energies and multiple hydride phases which extends and enhances their storage capacity at high pressures and high pressure hydrogen storage units which contain a variable amount of these hydrogen storage alloys therein to enhance the storage capacity of the unit beyond that obtainable by conventional alloys or pressurized hydrogen gas alone.
摘要:
Heat transfer management/compartmentalization system for a metal hydride hydrogen storage containment unit. The hydrogen storage alloy is preferably divided into compartments having a honeycomb configuration. Heat exchanger tubing is placed through the compartments to promote heat transfer between the hydrogen storage alloy and the exterior environment.

摘要:
A reversible hydrogen storage alloy capable of storing large amounts of hydrogen and delivering reversibly large amounts of hydrogen at temperatures ranging from 0° C. up to 40° C. The hydrogen storage alloy is generally composed of titanium, vanadium, and chromium. The alloy may further include manganese. Modifier elements such as zirconium, iron, nickel, molybdenum, ruthenium, and/or cobalt, and scavenger elements such as misch metal, calcium, and/or magnesium may be included in the alloy to improve performance.

Practice of this invention provides, at least, a method of making a hydrogen storage material comprising the steps of: 1. forming a molten mixture comprising nickel and at least one other transition metal element, the combination of which will form a TiNi alloy and including in said molten mixture from about 0.1 at. % to about 10 at. % of one or more elements which will form an alloy which is immiscible in the TiNi-type alloy; and (b) cooling said molten mixture to form a solid alloy-system material by rapid solidification of said molten mixture at a cooling rate of at least 103° C. per second.
摘要:
A hydrogen storage alloy having the atomic formula AB4.75-5.25. Where A may comprise at least 85 atomic percent Nd and less than 15 atomic percent other rare earth elements and Mg and B may comprise Ni, Co, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mn and Al. The atomic percentages of Mn and Al may be governed by the following formulas where Mn and Al are in atomic percent: 1) Mn+1.5 Al≧6 atomic percent; and 2) Mn+Al≦12 atomic percent. The total percent of Mn and Al may provide the alloy with a 20° C. plateau pressure of between 4 and 25 psi, preferably between 6 and 20 psi. The hydrogen storage alloy allows a nickel metal hydride battery into which it is incorporated to maintain a voltage of at least 1.2 V at a depth of discharge of 90%.
