Hydrogen storage as a metal hydride is the most promising alternative because of its relatively large hydrogen storage capacities near room temperature. TiMn2-based C14 Laves phases alloys are one of the promising hydrogen storage materials with easy activation, good hydriding-dehydriding kinetics, high hydrogen storage capacity and relatively low cost. In this work, multi-component, hyper-stoichiometric $Ti_{0.85}Zr_{0.13}(Fe_x-V)_{0.56}Mn_{1.47}Ni_{0.05}$ C14 Laves phase alloys were prepared by a vacuum induction melting for a hydrogen storage tank. Since pure vanadium (V) is quite expensive, the substitution of the V element in these alloys has been tried and some interesting results were achieved by replacing V by commercial ferrovanadium (FeV) raw material. In addition, the melt-spinning process, which was applied to the manufacturing of some of these alloys, could make the plateau slopes much flatter, which resulted in the increase of reversible hydrogen storage capacity. The improvement of sloping properties of melt-spun $Ti_{0.85}Zr_{0.13}(Fe_x-V)_{0.56}Mn_{1.47}Ni_{0.05}$ alloys was mainly attributed to the homogeneity of chemical composition.

The objective of this works was to synthesize the$Mg_2Ni$ hydrogen storage materials economically and to eliminate the intial activation process. $Mg_2NiH_x$ was mechanically alloyed under purified hydrogen gas atmosphere using pure Mg and Ni chips. M.A(Mechanical Alloying) was carried out using planetary ball mill for times varying from 12h to 96h under 20bars of hydrogen gas pressure. $Mg_2NiH_x$ started to form after 48h and the homogeneous $Mg_2NiH_x$ composites was synthesized after 96h. From TG analysis, the dehydriding reaction of $Mg_2NiH_x$ started at around $200^{\circ}C$. The result of P-C-T at $300^{\circ}C$ revealed the hydrogen storage capacity of $Mg_2NiH_c$ reached 3.68 wt% and the effective hydrogen storage was 2.38 wt%. The enthalpy difference of absorption-desorption cycling for the hydride formation and the hysteresis were reduced and the plateau flatness and the sloping were improved according to M.A time.

금속수소화물 $LaNi_5$와 $LaNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$을 화학적 합성법으로 제조하여, 합성된 금속수소화물의 물성을 다양한 방법으로 확인하였다. $LaNi_5$와 $LaNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$은 2회 정도 수소화/탈수소화 반응을 시키면 활성화되었으며, 압력-농도-온도 곡선을 측정한 결과 각각 6개와 5.5개의 수소원자가 저장되었다. $LaNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$의 경우 수소화 반응속도를 초기속도법으로 구한 결과 비반응 수축핵모델이 잘 적용되었으며, 수소화반응의 율속단계는 $LaNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$의 표면에서 수소분자의 해리화학흡착임을 알 수 있었다. $LaNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$의 수소화반응 활성화에너지는 $9.506kcal/mol-H_2$이었으며, 반응속도식은 273~343K와 $P_o-P_{eq}=0.25{\sim}0.66atm$의 범위에서 아래와 같이 표시되었다. $\frac{dX}{dt}=4.636(P_o-P_{eq})$ exp$\frac{-9506}{RT}$).
