Ti and Ti based hydrogen storage alloys have been thought to be the third generation of alloys with a high hydrogen capacity, which makes it difficult to handle because of high reactivity. In order to solve the problem, the activation of a wide range of hysteresis of hydriding/dehydriding and without degradation of hydrogen capacity due to the hydriding/dehydriding cycle have to be improved in order to be aplied. Ti-Cr alloys have a high capacity about 0.8 wt.% in an ambient atmosphere. When the Ti-Cr alloys are added to Nb and Ta elements, they formed a laves phase in the alloy system. The Nb element was expected to make easy diffuse hydrogen in the Ti-Cr storage alloy, which was a catalytic element. In this study, the Ti-Nb-Cr ternary alloy was prepared by melt spinning. As-received specimens were characterized using XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) with EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray) and TG/DSC (Thermo Gravimetric Analysis/Differential Scanning Calorimetry). In order to examine hydrogenation behavior, the PCI (Pressure-Composition-Isotherm) was performed at 293, 323, 373 and 423 K.

Recently Ni/MH secondary battery have been studied very extensively because of containing no pollutants as well as superior performance. However comparing to widely studying high capacity of hydrogen storage alloys electrode, the capacity of Ni electrode is inferior. Using for high capacity Ni/MH battery as a anodic materials, the study about high capacity Ni electrode is necessary. To making high capacity Ni electrode, active materials were impregnated in various polarization impregnation conditions. Plaque, milling for 6hr and sintered at $800^{\circ}C$, indicated porosity over 80%, and porosity were increased with proper condition electrochemical etching treatment. Proper impregnation condition was 40~80mA/cm, polarizing time was 5~10min.

Ti-Cr alloys consist of BCC solid solution, C36, C14 and C15 Laves phase at high temperature. Among others, the BCC solid solution phase was reported to have a high hydrogen storage capacity. However, activation, wide range of hysteresis at hydrogenation/dehydrogenation, and degradation of hydrogen capacity due to hydriding/dehydriding cycles must be improved for its application. In this study, to improve such problems, we added a Nb. For attaining target materials, Ti-10Cr-xNb(x=1, 3, 5wt.%) specimens were prepared by arc melting. The arc melting process was carried out under argon atmosphere. As-received specimens were characterized using XRD(X-ray diffraction), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) with EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray) and TG/DSC(Thermo Gravimetric Analysis/Differential Scanning Calorimetry). In order to examine hydrogenation behavior, the PCI(pressure-Composition-Isotherm) was performed at 293, 323, 373 and 423K.

The effect of cycling on the absorption and desorption characteristics of the 80 wt% $AB_2$-15 wt% Mg-5 wt% Mm system was investigated. The material was made by Hydrogen Combustion Synthesis. The cycling experiment was performed at 298 K, 30 atm for 15 min. During the reaction time, the amount of absorption was fully desorbed. After the full activation, the hydrogen storage capacity was 1.57 wt% and the capacity was maintained until 50 cycles. And the reaction rate does not change with an increase in the number of cycles. This material has good durability and reversible feature.

Mg and Ma-based alloys are promising hydrogen storage materials for renewable clean energy applications. It has high hydrogen storage capacity (7.6wt.%), lightweight and low economical materials. However, commercial applications of the Mg hydride are currently hindered by its high operating temperature, and very slow reaction kinetics. In this work, we are aimed at studying the hydrogenation properties of the $MgH_x-V_2O_5$ composite prepared by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying. The absorption capacity of the sample is found to be about 4.7wt.% at 623K under 3 MPa $H_2$ pressure. The absorption characteristics observed have been compared with prepared $MgH_x$.

탄소나노튜브의 수소 저장소로써의 가능성을 평가하기 위한 분자 모사를 수행하였다. 일정한 온도와 압력에서 Grand canonical Monte Carlo 방법을 적용하여 탄소나노튜브에 수소가 흡착된 평형 상태를 구현하였다. Lennard-Jones 퍼텐셜 모델로부터 탄소나노튜브와 수소 분자 간 상호 작용 에너지를 계산 한 결과에 의하면 수소 분자는 나노튜브 외부보다 내부에 많은 양이 흡착되는 반면 흡착 강도는 외부가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 여러 가지 온도와 압력에 대해 흡착율을 검토하였으며, 200 K와 200 bar의 저온 고압 조건에서 약 2.5wt%의 흡착율을 나타내었다.

수소 수요가 증가함에 따라 수소를 저장하기 위한 설비의 중요성이 대두되었으며, 국내에서는 다양한 법으로 수소 취급 설비를 규제하고 있다. 산업안전보건법에 따르면 저장량 5톤 이상의 액화수소를 취급하는 경우 공정안전관리 제도를 운용해야 한다. 하지만 현행 산업안전보건법에는 인화성을 띠는 저온액화 물질에 적용하기엔 적절하지 않은 기준이 있다. 본 연구에서는 산업안전보건법과 KOSHA Guide를 바탕으로 PSM 구성요소 중 공정안전자료와 안전운전 계획에서 수소취급 설비를 위해 개선되야 할 7개 주요 항목에 대해서 제시하였으며, 과학적인 분석을 통해 제시된 7개 항목이 어떤 방향으로 개선되어야 하는지 도출하였다.

최근 증가하는 수소에너지 수요에 대응할 수 있는 안정적인 수소 저장 기술에 대한 사회적 니즈가 증가하고 있으며, 이 중 지중수소저장은 대규모 수소 저장이 가능하여 가장 경제적이고 합리적인 저장 방식으로 인식되고 있다. 국내의 경우, 인공적인 방호구조물을 활용한 저심도 수소 저장 방식을 고려하고 있는데, 이와 관련된 안전기준 확립 및 지반 안정성 평가가 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저심도 지중 수소저장시설에서의 수소가스 누출 시 발생할 수 있는 지반의 수리역학적 거동을 복합해석 모델을 통해 평가하였다. 벤치마크 실험을 통하여 해석 모델의 예측 신뢰성을 검증한 후, 메타모델을 활용한 매개변수연구를 수행하여 고압수소가스의 지반 침투에 따른 지표면 융기현상에 대한 영향 인자들의 민감도에 대해 평가하였다. 분석결과, 수소가스의 지반누출에 따른 지표변위 변화에 대한 민감도는 지반의 탄성계수가 가장 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후 수소가스 누출뿐만 아니라 수소가스 폭발에 대한 지반 복합해석 평가 시 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

Vanadium based solid solution alloys have been studied as a potential negative electrode of Ni/MH battery due to their high hydrogen storage capacity. In order to improve the kinetic property of V-Ti alloy in KOH electrolyte, the ball-milling process with Ni, which has a catalytic effect of hydrogen absorption/desorption, was carried out to modify the surface properties of V-Ti-Cr alloys with high hydrogen storage capacity. Moreover, to overcome the problem of poor cycle life, V-Ti alloy substituted by Cr, V0.68 Ti0.20 Cr0.12, has been developed showing a good cycle performance (keeping about 80 % of initial discharge capacity after 200 cycles). The cycle life of surface-modified V0.68 Ti0.20 Cr0.12 alloy was improved by suppressing the formation of TiO2 layer on the alloy surface while decreasing the amount of dissolved vanadium in the KOH electrolyte. In order to promote the effect of Ni coating on the surface property of V0.68 Ti 0.20 Cr 0.12 alloy by ball-milling, filamentary-typed Ni, which has higher surface coverage area than sphere-typed Ni was used as a surface modifier. Consequently, the surface-modified V0.68 Ti0.20 Cr0.12 alloy electrode showed a improved discharge capacity of 460 mAh/g.

We investigated the effects of the addition of Mn and $AB_5$ type alloy on the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-Cr-V BCC type alloys as anode materials for Ni-MH battery. The activation behavior and discharge capacity of the BCC type alloys were significantly improved by ball-milling with the $LmNi_{4.1}Al_{0.25}Mn_{0.3}Co_{0.65}$ alloy, because the $AB_5$ type alloy acted as hydrogen path on the surface of the BCC type alloy. Among the Mn substituted alloys($Mn=0.03%{\sim}0.08%$), the $Ti_{0.32}Cr_{0.38}Mn_{0.05}V_{0.25}$ alloy ball-milled with $AB_5$ type alloy exhibited the greatest discharge capacity of $336\;mAh{\cdot}g^{-1}$. In addition, Mn substituted alloys exhibited the lower plateau pressure in P-C- T curve, the better hydrogen storage capacity and faster surface activation compared with the alloy without Mn.
