Abstract
Hydrogen storage capacity and crystal structure of hydrogen-free Zr3V3O0.6 and its saturated deuteride, Zr3V3OxD9.6, and have been studied using both X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. Experimental data together with the g eometrical analysis of the crystal structure of the deuteride indicate that oxygen non-stoichiometry plays a significant role in the 2-fold increase o f hydrogen storage capacity of Zr3V3O0.6 compared with the stoichiometric o xygenated Zr3V3O.
