| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
High-pressure technique is effective for realizing novel materials that cannot be obtained around ambient pressure. We explored novel aluminum-based hydrides using the technique to develop light-weight, compact, and safe hydrogen storage method. To explore these materials, various quantum-beam in-situ observation techniques have been developed.
We have succeeded in synthesis of aluminum-based hydride by hydrogenating Al2Cu alloy at 10 GPa and 800°C. Hydrogenation reactions of metals have been observed in situ using x-ray absorption fine structure and neutron diffraction measurements.
