Reaction Kinetics of Intermetallic Hydrides

宾夕法尼亚西切斯特大学化学系的Andrew Goudy博士因金属间氢化物吸氢方面的工作而得到以下项目的共同支持：无机、生物无机和有机金属化学；实验物理化学；以及界面、运输和分离过程(工程学)。该项目将研究相、表面结构和颗粒大小对混合稀土-过渡金属化合物吸氢速度的影响。一些混合过渡金属系统也将被研究。已开发出前处理方法，使一致的动力学结果成为可能。这些材料在中等温度下能吸收大量氢气，因此具有潜在的储氢应用价值。

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.
