As the world shifts toward renewable energy, the need for an effective energy carrier is
pressing. Hydrogen has often been touted as a universal clean energy vector and the fuel of …

Metals/metal hydrides have attracted much attention for hydrogen storage and sensing
owing to their excellent ability to store hydrogen. The nanomodification strategy has a …

In this work, we demonstrate that the classic hydrogen storage alloy LaNi 5 can catalyze the
reversible hydrogen storage in N-ethylcarbazole (NEC), one of the most promising liquid …

Hydrogen can be stored in the interstitial sites of the lattices of intermetallic compounds. To
date, intermetallic compound LaNi5 or related LaNi5-based alloys are known to be practical …

The paper presents a review of the authors' studies of advanced functional composites of
graphene based materials with metals, alloys, intermetallic compounds and their hydrides …

Metal hydrides (MHs) are featured for their reversible hydrogen absorption and desorption
properties, which are conventionally used as hydrogen storage materials. MHs can also be …

Rare Earths (REs) are referred to as 'industrial vitamins' and play an indispensable role in a
variety of domains. This article reviews the applications of REs in traditional metallurgy …

A novel approach for the reuse of rare earth (REE) elements generated during
hydrometallurgical processing of Ni-MH batteries as alternative sources is provided to …

Stability of AB 2 alloy in Laves phases C14 and C15 were studied by first-principle density
functional theory simulations. A range of different combinations of B and C elements in the Ti …

LaNi5 intermetallic compounds with a hexagonal CaCu5 type structure can react reversibly
with hydrogen. The element substitutions in LaNi5 can significantly change the …
