Abstract: A method for identification and evaluation of the hydrogen storage capacity of materials is presented, the method comprising providing a plurality of materials, wherein the plurality of materials comprise an array of synthesized hydrides and analyzing hydrogen content in the plurality of materials.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods for planning, preparing, tracking, and analyzing a plurality of chemical reactions including a planner for planning how much of each of a plurality of materials is to be delivered to each of a plurality of reaction vessels; a delivery device for delivering a predetermined amount of each of the plurality of materials to each of the plurality of reaction vessels; a reaction device for reacting the plurality of materials disposed within each of the plurality of reaction vessels; a measuring device for testing and measuring the reacted contents of each of the plurality of reaction vessels; and an analyzer for analyzing the reacted contents of each of the plurality of reaction vessels to determine the amount of at least one component present in the reacted contents and to determine the relative performance of the materials disposed within each of the plurality of reaction vessels.

Abstract: A device and method for normalizing the gas flow through multiple reaction vessels used for conducting and analyzing simultaneous reactions. The device includes a plurality of reaction vessels having different first gas flow rates and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the gas flow through each of the reaction vessels to produce a second gas flow rate that is substantially the same for each of the reaction vessels. The method includes connecting the reaction vessels to a controlled vacuum source, one at a time, and adding an amount of various condensed phased materials to the reaction vessels to produce a predetermined second pressure drop reading corresponding to a second gas flow rate that is substantially the same for each of the reaction vessels.
