Abstract
High capacity, high efficiency and resource-rich energy storage systems are required to store large scale excess electrical energy from renewable energy. We proposed “Hybrid Nickel-Metal Hydride/Hydrogen (Ni-MH/H2) Battery” using high capacity AB5-type hydrogen storage alloy and high-pressure H2 gas as negative electrode active materials. It was experimentally confirmed that hydrogen gas can be utilized as an active material of negative electrode by the presence of the AB5-type hydrogen storage alloy. The experimental average cell voltage suggested that H2 gas passed through the alloy in the form of atoms. The calculated gravimetric energy density of this hybrid battery increased up to 1.5 times of the conventional Ni-MH battery with low content of rare-earth element which is 32 wt% of the Ni-MH battery.
