Properties of hydrogen-absorbing alloys, anode coils
Hydrogen absorb alloys, also called metal hydrites(MH), are made by blending components that are compatible with hydrogen and components that are not compatible with hydrogen.
This creates an alloy that can absorb and desorb hydrogen.
Applications of hydrogen-absorbing alloys and anode coils
They are used in the AA and AAA Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries available commercially.
They are also used for various other articles such tools and household electrical appliances.
When compared to lithium-ion batteries that are used for the same purposes, what these batteries lack in compactness they make up for in price.
In addition, when compared to the nickel-cadmium batteries used for similar purposes, Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are clean and harmless, which explains their usage through Europe and elsewhere.
