Abstract
Though there is continuing interest in basic research on hydrogen in, and on, metals, applied research on metal hydrides has known many ups and downs. About ten years ago it was thought that hydrides of intermetallic compounds would become important in the mobile and stationary storage of hydrogen as a synthetic fuel. Subsequently it became evident that hydrogen would not be an economic fuel in the immediate future, unless the cost of removing pollution was added to the price of fuels. Today applied research on metal hydrides is more oriented towards the use of hydrogen in closed systems, e.g., thermal compressors or heat pumps [1]. The aim of the present contribution is to show that metal hydrides are exciting materials allowing the study of many topics of solid state science.
