APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HYDROGEN STORAGE BODY, AND HYDROGEN STORAGE BODY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen storage body having a high hydrogen storage capacity by mechanically crushing a hydrogen storage material exerting a hydrogen storage function into fine particles in a gaseous hydrogen atmosphere, with high energy and on a mass production basis. SOLUTION: The subject manufacturing apparatus for hydrogen storage body comprises: a cylindrical crushing vessel 1 crushing the hydrogen storage material; a gaseous hydrogen introducing port 8 introducing gaseous hydrogen into the crushing vessel to keep the inside of the vessel 1 in a hydrogen atmosphere; a hydrogen storage material introducing port 9 introducing the material into the vessel 1; a hydrogen storage material discharge port 10 discharging the material in the vessel 1; a plurality of crushing rollers 5 with rotary shafts 5a disposed in conformity with a lengthwise direction of the crushing vessel 1 and along the inner wall of the vessel 1; and a drive mechanism causing a relative rotary movement between the crushing vessel 1 and the plurality of crushing rollers, and rotation of the plurality of crushing rollers.
