Development of Materials for Solid State Hydrogen Storage

Abstract

Series of high entropy alloys designed on Hume-Rothery criterion was prepared and the probability of the empirical approach to hydrogen storage materials preparation was investigated. Calculated HEA’s with equimolar compositions were selected from the list of alloys with limited VEC (valence electron concentration), ΔS and ΔH. The phase composition of prepared materials was compared with the prediction model and material characteristics such as chemical composition, and phase composition were studied. In this article material characterization of predicted high-entropy alloys with various prediction parameters values will be presented in terms of empirical prediction methods for solid-state hydrogen storage materials.
