  • METHOD FOR PREPARING A MATERIAL FOR STORING HYDROGEN, INCLUDING AN EXTREME PLASTIC DEFORMATION OPERATION
    Publication number: 20130111736
    Abstract: A material for storing hydrogen is prepared by a method including an extreme plastic deformation operation selected from cold-rolling, quick-forging and extrusion-bending performed on a metallic material selected from among a metal and an alloy containing said metal, or on a compound containing a metal material selected from among a metal and an alloy containing said metal and to which a hydride of said metal or a hydride of said alloy has been added. When the extreme plastic deformation operation is carried out on the metallic material, it is followed by an operation of adding, to the metal material, a hydride of said metal or a hydride of said alloy, as well as by a dispersing operation.
