Abstract
Metal hydrides, as energy storage media, are receiving considerable attention. The amount of literature concerning the properties of these materials has increased markedly over the past few years. In this paper, we conduct a review of the alloy groups which absorb large quantities of hydrogen. These alloy classes are designated as AB5, AB, AB2, AB3 and A2B7 and Mg-based compounds. These materials are discussed with emphasis placed on thermodynamic and kinetic properties, activation and deactivation, poisoning effects and storage capacity.
