Description

Metal Alloys for Hydrogen Storage Applications: Solid-State Hydrogen Storage in Metal-Based Materials provides an overview of the fundamentals, mechanics, processing, and application of various metal alloys, intermetallics, metal matrix composites, metal oxides, and other lightweight metal materials for use in hydrogen storage. Titanium-based, magnesium-based, binary type, and high entropy alloys are each covered, as are hydrogen bonding systems, the effects of alloy microstructure on hydrogen storage capacity and efficiency, alloy modifiers, and coatings and additives for alloys. Modeling techniques and approaches to additive manufacturing of components for hydrogen energy storages are also outlined, and various applications are included throughout.

Key features

  • Covers the fundamentals, properties, mechanics, and applications of alloys and other metallic materials for use as energy storage materials
