Abstract: A device for in-situ hydrogen absorption and hydrolysis hydrogen production based on magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage alloys and use thereof are provided. The device can directly inject hydrogen into a stainless steel tank to allow the magnesium alloy absorbing hydrogen to generate the hydrogenated magnesium alloy. When hydrogen is needed later, water is introduced to hydrolyze the hydrogenated magnesium alloy to produce the hydrogen. In this process, the magnesium alloy does not need to be taken out and exposed to the air after absorbing hydrogen, nor does it need further treatment, such that the hydrogen absorption and hydrolysis hydrogen production of the magnesium alloy can be completed in steps in the same device, which greatly saves manufacturing time and cost of the hydrolysis hydrogen production tank.
