A Survey on Hydrogen Storage System using Alloys
Abstract: The transition to a carbon-neutral energy landscape hinges on the ability to store hydrogen safely, densely, and reversibly. While high-pressure tanks and cryogenic vessels dominate today’s infrastructure, solid-state storage in metallic alloys offers a compelling alternative by marrying high gravimetric capacity with intrinsic safety. This work presents a systematic investigation of a family of reversible hydrogen-absorbing alloys—principally Mg-based intermetallics (Mg₂Ni, Mg-Fe-Mn) and Ti-V-based Laves phases (TiFe, Ti₁₋ₓMnₓV₂) – engineered through …
