The objectives of the present study are to identify these lithium silicide phases and correlate their presence on the hydrogen storage properties.
This paper will present results of in situ XRD measurements of LaNi4.75Sn0.25 .during the initial absorption-desorption cycle, These measurements were performed under a similar condition to that for LaNi4.75Al0.25 previously reported [1]. The data were analyzed by the Rietveld method. Lattice parameter change and strain formation accompanying hydride phase formation and decomposition will be discussed. In addition, results of in situ neutron diffraction of LaNi4.78Sn0.22, focusing on hydrogen occupation in the hydride phase, will be presented.
Improved design provides high pumping speed at low pressure. Hydride-forming powder retained in thin layer in contact with inner surface of stainless-steel tube. Configuration provides large surface area and short path for efficient transfer of heat and small resistance to flow.
