Patent ·
OSTI ID:5720940
There is provided an efficient method of storing hydrogen in materials of small mass and small volume. The products of the present invention comprise intimate mixtures (As opposed to alloys) of magnesium and other metals or alloys capable of forming hydrides. The hydrides are selected so that the hydrides have a substantially lower thermal stability than that of magnesium hydride.
