Electrode active areas of metal hydride fuel cells have been scaled up from 60 cm 2 to 250 cm 2, enabling systems to be scaled up to 500 Watts. [11] The scaling up of electrode active areas also provided capabilities to develop higher power fuel cell stacks, each with 1500 Watts of power. [6]
A hydride compressor is a hydrogen compressor based on metal hydrides with absorption of hydrogen at low pressure, releasing heat, and desorption of hydrogen at high pressure, absorbing heat, by raising the temperature with an external heat source like a heated waterbed or electric coil.

Compressed hydrogen is a storage form whereby hydrogen gas is kept under pressures to increase the storage density. Compressed hydrogen in hydrogen tanks at 350 bar (5,000 psi) and 700 bar (10,000 psi) are used for hydrogen tank systems in vehicles, based on type IV carbon-composite technology.
The hydrogen atoms occupy interstitial sites in palladium hydride. The H–H bond in H 2 is cleaved. The ratio in which H is absorbed on Pd is defined by = [] [].When Pd is brought into a H 2 environment with a pressure of 1 atm, the resulting concentration of H reaches x ≈ 0.7.
Hydrides are important in storage battery technologies such as nickel-metal hydride battery. Various metal hydrides have been examined for use as a means of hydrogen storage for fuel cell-powered electric cars and other purposed aspects of a hydrogen economy. [11] Hydride complexes are catalysts and catalytic intermediates in a variety of ...
Activity included NiMH batteries, solid-state hydrogen fuel storage, metal hydride fuel cells, and solar. Founder Stanford Ovshinsky was honored as "Hero for the planet" by Time magazine in 1999, and inducted into the U.S.-based Solar Energy Hall of Fame in 2005. [4]

The Mirai's fuel cell stack. The first generation of Toyota FC Stack achieved a maximum output of 114 kW (153 hp; 155 PS).
A metal hydride can be a thermodynamically a weak acid and a weak H − donor; it could also be strong in one category but not the other or strong in both. The H − strength of a hydride also known as its hydride donor ability or hydricity corresponds to the hydride's Lewis base strength. Not all hydrides are powerful Lewis bases.
