<p>@ Novel materials having the ability to reversibly store hydrogen are amorphous metal alloys of the formula A<Sub>a</Sub> M<Sub>b</Sub>M'<Sub>c</Sub>
wherein A is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ag, Au, Hg, Pd, and Pt;
<UnorderedLists id="ula01" listStyle="none"><ListItem>M is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Pb, Ru, Cu, Cr, Mo, Si, W, Ni, Al, Sn, Co, Fe, Zn, Cd, Ga and Mn; and</ListItem><ListItem>M' is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ca, Mg, Ti, Y, Zr, Hf, Nb, V, Ta and the rare earths; and</ListItem></UnorderedLists>
wherein a ranges from greater than zero to about 0.80;
<UnorderedLists id="ula02" listStyle="none"><ListItem>b ranges from zero to about 0.70; and</ListItem><ListItem>c ranges from about 0.08 to about 0.95; characterized in that 1) a substantial portion of A is disposed on the surface of said material and/or 2) that said material functions as an active surface layer for adsorbing/desorbing hydrogen in conjunction with. a bulk storage material comprising a reversible hydrogen storage material.</ListItem></UnorderedLists></p> |
