A ternary alloy comprised of cerium, nickel and manganese is characterized in having CaCu5 hexagonal crystal structure and stoichiometry. Members of a preferred class of compounds, represented by the empirical formula CeNi5-xMnx wherein "x" has a value between 0.1 and about 1.0. These alloys react with hydrogen readily and can absorb a large amount of hydrogen at moderate pressure and temperature and are particularly suitable for use as hydrogen storage materials. |
