西切斯特化学系的安德鲁·高迪博士 宾夕法尼亚大学，是共同支持的工作， 通过金属间化合物吸收氢， 项目：无机、生物无机和有机金属 化学;实验物理化学;和界面， 运输和分离过程（工程）。 该项目将研究相位、表面 结构和粒度对氢吸收速率的影响 混合稀土-过渡金属化合物。 一些混合 过渡金属系统也将被研究。 方法 已经开发了预处理， 可能的动力学结果。 %%% 已知这些材料吸收大量的 氢在中等温度下， 氢存储的应用。

Dr. Andrew Goudy of the Chemistry Department, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, is jointly supported for work on hydrogen absorption by intermetallic hydrides by the following programs: Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry; Experimental Physical Chemistry; and Interfacial, Transport and Separation Processes (Engineering). The project will investigate the influence of phase, surface structure, and particle size on the rate of uptake of hydrogen by mixed rare earth-transition metal compounds. Some mixed transition metal systems will also be investigated. Methods for pretreatment have been developed which make consistent kinetic results possible. %%% These materials are known to absorb significant amounts of hydrogen at moderate temperatures and so have potential application for hydrogen storage.
