M. Elhammioui et al., STUDY OF A HYDRIDE FORMING SYSTEM BY THERMOGRAVIMETRY - HYDRIDING CHARACTERISTICS OF LANI5 MIXED WITH NICKEL POWDERS, Thermochimica acta, 231, 1994, pp. 225-230
LaNi5 powder was mixed with metallic nickel powders. The powdered and
compacted mixtures were subjected to hydriding-dehydriding cycles. Hyd
rogen absorption occurs by a nucleation and growth process and can be
strongly changed by altering the particle size of the nickel powder. W
hen this is very small, hydridation is complicated by bad hydrogen flo
