There is described an alloy metal hydride for storing and releasing hydrogen at predetermined temperatures and pressures intended for storing and transporting said hydrogen and also for use as a hydrogen supply source of a fuel cell and fuel electrode. The alloy of this invention consists of 30 to 80 percent by weight Ti and 20 to 70 percent by weight Mn having a high dissociation pressure, easy hydrogen activation, low heat of formation of hydrides and a very fast rate of absorption and desorption, also the alloy is of light weight and of low cost, therefore being of great industrial use.
