Hydrogen storage alloys

As a result, many nuclear and industrial applications have been developed for zirconium and its alloys. These applications include fuel cladding and pressure tubes for nuclear reactors, process equipment for the CPI, superconducting materials, battery alloys, hydrogen storage alloys, ordnance applications, implant materials, and consumer goods.

Hydrogen-storage alloys (18,19) are commercially available from several companies in the United States, Japan, and Europe. A commercial use has been developed in rechargeable nickel—metal hydride batteries which are superior to nickel—cadmium batteries by virtue of improved capacity and elimination of the toxic metal cadmium (see BATTERIES, SECONDARYCELLS-ALKALINe). Other uses are expected to develop in nonpolluting internal combustion engines and fuel cells (qv), heat pumps and refrigerators, and electric utility peak-load shaving. 

CaNi5, H2, MeOH, H20. The catalyst is a hydrogen storage alloy and is partially consumed by the reaction of Ca with water or methanol. 

The alloy powder (used in hydrogen-storage systems) may ocasionally be pyrophoric after hydriding-dehydriding operations, igniting when placed on a combustible surface (e.g. weighing paper).

More recently, hydrogen storage has become important, and interstitial alloys formed by incorporation of hydrogen into metals are of considerable interest. Niobium is typical of these. This metal is able to incorporate interstitial hydrogen up to a limiting composition of approximately NbH0.i-...
