The article describes potential application of the BCC alloy Ti0.95Zr0.05Cr0.8Mn0.8V0.2Ni0.2 in the hydrogen absorption process. It deals with the measurements of the PCI (Pressure Concentration Isotherm) characteristics applying the volumetric method. With regard to the fact that it is an indirect measurement method, the thermodynamic description was analysed in details and subsequently used to identify the weight capacity of the stored hydrogen. The article presents a detailed description of the procedure for measuring the free volume of the measuring equipment using helium which is able to penetrate into pores and apertures with the size of only a few nanometres but does not participate in the absorption into the intermetallic structure of the alloy. The hydrogen absorption into the tested alloy was initiated by repeatedly performed activation of the alloy surface. The final section of the article presents the examination of the cyclic stability of the absorption-desorption cycle within the repeated monitoring of the maximum weight capacity of the stored hydrogen.

The hydrogen storage on single wall carbon is studied by using the first principle based on density functional theory (DFT). It concludes that the adsorption of hydrogen on the bare distorted single carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be enhanced dramatically when the single wall carbon nanotubes are rotated along the tubs axis. On the other hand, it suggests that the hydrogen storage capacity of SWNTs depend on the deformation angles.

Mg -3 Ni -2 MnO 2 hydrogen storage nanocomposites added with different composition (1%~4%) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by mechanical milling under the atmosphere of hydrogen. Different mechanical milling process parameter has been discussed in this paper. Study on hydrogen storage ability of Mg -3 Ni -2 MnO 2- nCNTs with different composition carbon nanotubes has been carried out. The result show that Mg -3 Ni -2 MnO 2- nCNTs excellent heat conductivity and good hydrogen storage (more than 6%vol) ability, the CNTs improve the mass transfer and heat transfer properties of the Mg -3 Ni -2 MnO 2, thus enhancing the kinetic property of hydrogen absorption and desorption of the hydrogen storage nanocomposites, and raising the hydrogen storage capacity. Due to the addition of the carbon nanotubes, the milling stress in the process of preparing the Mg -based namocomposites is reduced, the components can be closely bonded easily, and the additives can play better catalytic roles enhancing the kinetic property of hydrogen absorption and desorption of the hydrogen storage nanocomposites, and raising the hydrogen storage capacity. Due to the addition of the carbon nanotubes, the milling stress in the process of preparing the Mg -based namocomposites is reduced, the components can be closely bonded easily, and the additives can play better catalytic roles.

The aim of this study was to develop a new material which has high hydrogen storage capacity and hydrogen absorption/desorption rate. This material, which is based on cobalt powder onto which palladium was chemically deposited can be used in environmentally friendly energy generation processes, thus ensuring preventive protection of human health. Hydrogen absorption was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and by measuring hydrogen pressure under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions in a chamber containing either pure cobalt powder either cobalt powder onto which palladium was chemically deposited (Co-0.003 Pd). The mechanism of hydrogen absorption has been described. It was noticed that palladium catalyses hydrogen absorption by dissociating the adsorbed H2 molecules into H atoms more rapidly on its own atoms than on cobalt ones. The catalysis of dissociation of H2 molecules enabled hydrogen absorption into Co-0.003 Pd powder to occur at lower temperatures. The results of this study enable integration of technological and public health investigation in order to ensure preventive protection of human health through enviromental protection.

Magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials are considered to be one of the most promising solid-state hydrogen storage materials due to their large hydrogen storage capacity and low cost. However, slow hydrogen absorption/desorption rate and excessive hydrogen absorption/desorption temperature limit the application of magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials. The present paper reviews recent progress in improving the hydrogen storage properties by element substitution and additives. Ball milling is the promising technology for preparing magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials. The research and development of approaches for modifying magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials prepared by ball milling is systematically expounded. It is concluded that ball milling can significantly improve the kinetic and electrochemical properties of magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials and increase the hydrogen storage capacity. In the future, the research of magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials should be developed in terms of hydrogen storage mechanism, computer design of materials and development of a more optimized catalytic system.
