High performance FeTi-3.1 mass% V alloy for on board hydrogen storage solution
Kumar S, et al.
Energy, 75, 520-524 (2014)

Articles

Interaction of hydrogen with multi-component intermetallic compounds of AB5- and AB2-type were studied in the current work. Several new intermetallic hydrides with potential applications in high-capacity hydrogen storage have been identified and fully characterized using a gas-volumetric analytical technique.
