The vanadium hydride materials
The vanadium hydride materials V(IV)-100 and V(IV)-25C-H2 were tested for room temperature hydrogen storage to compare their activity to V(III) alkyl hydride gels previously synthesized by our group. 9c Hydrogen PCT adsorption-desorption isotherms were thus recorded at 298 K and compared to standard isotherm of AX-21 recorded under the same conditions at 2-3 mmol total adsorption of H2 for accuracy. The initial material V(IV)-100 reached a maximum of 2.1 wt % at 130 bar and 25 °C without saturat
