| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to impart tolerance to mechanical handling and ambient air resistance to magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloys, novel composite materials have been developed through encapsulation of Mg-Nb2O5 powders with the soft sol-gel (consisting of applying silica precursors and silicone rubber precursors)derived shells. In comparative assessments employing varied types of reaction tubes, hydrogen storage capacity and reaction kinetics proved to change depending on the way of admission of hydrogen. The composites and the handling procedures developed in the present work will be usuful as the fundamental knowledge that promotes safe and efficient hydrogen storage and transport characterized in that hydrogen occluding alloys are able to be handled in the similar manners as flour.
