Compositions and methods for generation of gases containing hydrogen or hydrogen isotopes

摘要

A composition which upon heating generates hydrogen or hydrogen isotopes comprises an intimate mixture of a hydride component selected from the group consisting of calcium hydride, magnesium hydride, sodium hydride, lithium hydride and mixtures thereof, and a salt component selected from the group consisting of ammonium salts, hydrazinium salts and mixtures thereof, said hydride component being present in at least a stoichiometric amount.
