METHOD FOR INDUCING HYDROGEN DESORPTION FROM A METAL HYDRIDE

摘要

Disclosed is a method for inducing desorption of hydrogen from a metal hydri de by applying thereto sufficient energy to induce hydrogen desorption by endothermic reaction. The energy that is so-applied is non-thermal and selected from the group consisting of mechanical energy, ultrasonic energy, microwave energy, electric energy, chemical energy and radiation energy.
