NMR studies of structure and diffusion in metal hydrides

Journal Article · · Int. J. Hydrogen Energy; (United States)
Various pulse nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques have been used to determine the proton lineshapes and nuclear relaxation times in metal hydrides. Analysis of the NMR data provide information on the nature of the lattice sites occupied by protons and on the hydrogen diffusion parameters. The effects of hydrogen concentration and temperature on hydrogen diffusion in vanadium hydride has been investigated. NMR measurements have also been performed on the two iron--titanium (FeTi) hydride phases. The implications of NMR studies on the general behavior of metal hydrides as hydrogen storage materials is briefly discussed.
