Researchers use sodium to deliver low-cost MgSi alloys for solid-state hydrogen storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Queensland have show that a low-cost Mg-based hydrogen storage alloy is possible with only 1 wt% Si. A high hydrogen capacity of 6.72 wt% hydrogen is achieved via trace sodium (Na) addition. Si alloys for hydrogen storage applications. in the non-Na added alloy.
