Title: Room temperature reaction of vanadium-based alloys with hydrogen

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6510470

A method of producing a vanadium-based metal hydride which comprises reacting hydrogen gas at a temperature between about 0/sup 0/ and 100/sup 0/ C. with a vanadium-based binary solid solution alloy having a body-centered cubic structure and having a formula V/sub 1//sub -/ /SUB x/ M /SUB x/ , wherein M is a metal selected from the group consisting of manganese, chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and mixtures thereof and wherein x varies from at least about 2 atom percent up to the solubility limit of cobalt, iron and nickel and up to about 20 mol % of manganese and up to about 40 mol % of chromium in said solid solution alloy is disclosed.
