Description

(54) HYDRIDES OF INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STORING HYDROGEN (71) We, PHILIPS ELECTRONIC AND ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES LIMITED, of Abacus House, 33 Gutter Lane, London EC2V 8AH a British Company, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: The invention relates to a method of absorbing, storing and releasing hydrogen using - intermetallic compounds containing at least one of the rare earth metals, to hydrides of these intermetallic compounds, and to apparatus for absorbing, storing and subsequently releasing hydrogen gas, comprising a reservoir containing such an intermetallic compound.
United Kingdom patent specification 1,291,976 describes intermetallic compounds having compositions defined by the general formula ADn, where A is calcium or at least one of the rare earth metals (as hereinafter defined) and optionally up to 10 atom So of the rare earth metal is replaced by Th and/or Zr and/or Hf, D is Ni and/or Co, and optionally up to 10 atom So of the Ni and/or Co is replaced by Fe and/ or Gu, and n has a value in the range from 3 to 8.5. These intermetallic compounds may be used for absorbing, storing and releasing relatively large quantities of hydrogen. Throughout this specification, the term "rare earth metals" is understood to mean the elements having atomic numbers from 57 to 71 inclusive and 39.
A known representative of this group intermetallic compounds AD/n is the so-called LnNi5, where Ln represents a mixture of rare earth metals which contains inter alia 85% by weight of La and 10% by weight of Ce. At 21"C this material absorbs, while forming hydrides, a maximum of approximately 180 ml H2 (at a pressure of 760 mm Hg) per gram whilst the equilibrium pressure is approximately 2.5 atm. at this temperature.
The invention provides a hydride of an intermetallic compound, the compound having a composition defined by the empirical formula XQp, wherein X is at least one of the rare earth metals (as hereinbefore defined), wherein optionally up to a total of 10 atom % of the rare earth metal of X is replaced by one or more of the metals Th, Zr, Ca, Mg and Hf, wherein Q is Fe and/or Mn or is a mixture of Fe and/or Mn with Cu containing up to 10 atom % of copper and wherein 2 9p S 8.5.
A method of absorbing, storing and subsequently releasing hydrogen using an intermetallic compound having a composition defined by the abovementioned formula XQp, the method comprising the steps of subjecting the intermetallic compound to an external hydrogen pressure which exceeds the equilibrium pressure (as hereinafter defined) at the working temperature so as to form a hydride of the intermetallic compound, wherein subsequently during storage of the hydrogen the hydride of the intermetallic compound remains exposed to a hydrogen pressure exceeding the equilibrium pressure at the storage temperature, and wherein the hydrogen gas is released from the hydride of the intermetallic compound by reducing the hydrogen gas pressure to which the said hydride is subjected to a value which is less than the equilibrium pressure at the release temperature, wherein the intermetallic ompound XQp is capable of absorbing hydrogen gas at one combination of temperature and pressure and the hydride is capable of releasing the absorbed hydrogen gas at another combination of pressure and temperature.
The above-mentioned equilibrium pressure at a given temperature is the pressure at which a partly-hydrogenated intermetallic compound can be caused with the aid of a small pressure variation to absorb or release in a reversible process, considerable volumes of hydrogen gas, Apparatus for absorbing, storing and releasing hydrogen may comprise a reservoir having an obturable opening and containing an intermetallic compound having a composition XQp as defined above, and means for heating the reservoir.
It has been found that the quantity of hydrogen which the intermetallic compounds XQp of the invention can absorb it relatively high and in general of the same order of magnitude as for LnNi5 mentioned above and that in general the equilibrium pressures are low, that is to say smaller than 1 atm. at room temperature. This simplifies handling the relevant materials, for example reservoirs for these materials may have walls which are not so thick as for materials which have, at ambient temperature, an equilibrium pressure which exceeds 1 atm. Furthermore, with the materials according to the invention, it is possible to release hydrogen at a relatively low pressure so that reducing valves can be dispensed with. The materials according to the invention can also be used advantageously in electrochemical systems which are isolated from the atmosphere, such as primary and secondary batteries, for example as electrode material.
Thanks to their capacity to absorb hydrogen selectively, the new materials may be used, just as LnNi5 5 and the above-mentioned compounds ADn, for purifying hydrogen from other gases and in separating hydrogen from hydrogen-deuterium mixtures. The intermetallic compounds of the empirical formula XQp according to the invention may be prepared by the methods which are conventional for making rare earth metal alloys with cobalt, for example by fusing the composite elements in the required proportions in a protective gas atmosphere. Advantageously on account of cost, instead of the pure rare earth metals, the commercially available so-called "mischmetals" may be used, for example the lanthanum mischmetal, yttrium mischmetal and cerium mischmetal. Preferred intermetallic compounds XQp are in particular the compounds where X= La, Y or Ce or the mischmetals which contain at least 85% by weight of La, Y or Ce and where p = 2 or 3. With these compounds a large capacity of hydrogen absorption in ml per gram of the material is obtained at a relatively low price.
After cooling, the body obtained, if desired after pulverizing, is exposed to a hydrogen atmosphere having a pressure which is maintained at a higher value than the equilibrium pressure, at the working temperature, until the material is saturated with hydrogen. The hydrogen absorbed is subsequently available for release when the hydrogen pressure above the hydride is less than the equilibrium pressure at the temperature of the hydride.
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the following Examples, and to the single Figure of the accompanying drawing which shows a sectional elevation of an apparatus for absorbing, storing and releasing hydrogen.
EXAMPLES Materials 1-5 indicated by the relevant reference numerals in the first column of the Table and having the compositions shown in the second column of the Table, are obtained by fusing the relevant metals in an argon atmosphere. The bodies obtained were cooled and thereafter were pulverized and exposed, at ambient temperature (approximately 20"C), to hydrogen at a pressure of approximately 1 atm. The third column of the Table shows the composition of the hydride obtained, the fourth column the quantity of hydrogen in ml at 760 mm Hg and 20"C which was absorbed per gram of intermetallic compound. The equilibrium pressure of the said compounds at 200C appeared to be smaller than 0.1 atm. in each case.

The drawing shows an apparatus for absorbing, storing and releasing hydrogen, which apparatus consists of a reservoir 1 containing an intermetallic compound 2 having a composition defined in the Table, an electric heating coil 3, which surrounds the reservoir 1, a combined supply and discharge valve 4 for hydrogen and a pressure gauge 5.
Hydrogen can be withdrawn from the reservoir 1, filled with a hydride of the intermetallic compound, by heating the reservoir 1 which causes the hydrogen pressure over the hydride to rise, and/or by pumping the hydrogen off through valve 4. When all the hydrogen has been removed from the reservoir 1, the hydride can be prepared by passing hydrogen into the reservoir 1 through the valve 4 until, after full saturation at ambient temperature, the pressure in the reservoir starts rising above the equilibrium pressure.
