This invention provides novel metal alloys, methods for making these alloys, and methods of using these alloys in numerous applications. The alloys of the present invention comprise the following components: (A) one or more of the transition metal elements; at least one of either (B) aluminum or (C) one or more of the group 1A alkali metal elements; and (D) one or more elements and/or compounds having high mobility values for electrons. Thus, components A, D, and at least one of components B or C comprise the present invention. These alloys are useful as electrode materials in devices such as batteries, capacitors, fuel cells and similar devices, and useful in the direct production of hydrogen gas. |
