Metal Hydride Test Bench Development for Investigation of Sustainable and Efficient Hydrogen Storage
摘要
This paper presents the development of a metal hydride test bench designed to investigate sustainable and efficient hydrogen storage technologies. The system utilizes LaNi5, a widely studied metal hydride with favorable absorption/desorption kinetics and stability. A thermodynamic simulation model is implemented alongside the physical setup to predict system behavior and support experimental design. The test bench includes pressure and temperature control systems, safety testing, and precise measurement instrumentation. This platform enables future testing of various hydride materials, including recycled or industrial waste-based alloys, supporting broader research efforts toward safe, low-energy hydrogen storage solutions.
