Stoichiometry and annealing condition on hydrogen capacity of TiCr2-x AB2 alloys (2023)
Journal Article
McGrath, A. J., Wadge, M. D., Adams, M., Manickam, K., Ling, S., Walker, G. S., & Grant, D. M. (2024). Stoichiometry and annealing condition on hydrogen capacity of TiCr2-x AB2 alloys. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 53, 582-591. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.12.062

This study presents the effect of stoichiometry and annealing condition on Ti–Cr AB2-type hydrogen storage alloys. Prior to annealing the majority phase of the as-cast alloys was the C14 Laves phase, with separate Ti and Cr phases. Annealing treatmen...
