Abstract
Nanocrystallization is known to yield several improvements for the storage and uptake rate of hydrogen in solids. Usually this process is achieved by ball milling to produce a nanopowders. However, handling of these powders is risky and difficult, and there is also a high risk of introducing impurities into the storage material. In this situation materials processed by Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) yield several advantages: (i) the materials are produced in bulk shape with 100% density; (ii) the introduction of impurities is minimized, (iii) in addition to additional grain boundaries, many dislocations and particularly vacancies are generated which may further improve the hydrogen storage capacity and kinetics.
