PURPOSE:To prevent refining, to improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, and to obtain the title hydrogen storage body with elevated applicable temp. by forming hydrogen storage alloy powder with thermosetting resin as a binder. CONSTITUTION:Hydrogen storage alloy powder is formed into a desired shape with thermosetting resin as a binder to obtain the hydrogen storage body. The powder of the metal or alloy having high thermal conductivity can be added to the hydrogen storage alloy powder to improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen storage body. The powder of the metal selected from Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, Al, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sn, and Pb is preferably added. Phenolic resin, epoxy resin, etc., are used as the thermosetting resin. The ratio of the alloy powder to thermosetting resin is determined so that requisite strength, especially durability, can be imparted to the storage body and hydrogen can be smoothly absorbed and released. |
