Overview of Rare Earth Hydrogen Storage Materials: Rare earth hydrogen storage materials are metallic substances known for their unique ability to absorb and release hydrogen reversibly, either from the gas phase or electrochemically. This remarkable property finds application in various fields, including rechargeable batteries, cooling devices, and fuel cell storage systems. Among the broad spectrum of hydrogen storage alloys under investigation, two categories, AB5 and AB2 type alloys, stand out due to their optimal combination of high storage capacity and operational parameters.

AB5 alloys incorporate a hydride-forming rare earth metal, typically Lanthanum, Cerium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, Yttrium, or their blend, referred to as Mischmetal, along with a non-hydride-forming element, namely nickel. Nickel can be alloyed with other metals like Cobalt, Sn, or Aluminum to enhance material stability or modify the equilibrium hydrogen pressure and temperature necessary for charging and discharging.
Market Dynamics of Rare Earth Hydrogen Storage Materials: The increasing demand for rechargeable batteries and cooling devices has been a driving force in the growth of the rare earth hydrogen storage materials market. Additionally, the global demand for renewable energy sources has been on the rise. Hydrogen energy, being a clean and efficient form of renewable energy, is expected to play a significant role in the future energy landscape. The utilization of hydrogen energy encompasses various aspects, including production, application, storage, and transportation, with storage being a key technical challenge inhibiting widespread adoption. Rare earth-based hydrogen storage materials represent a promising medium for hydrogen storage and are widely used as anode materials in commercial Ni/MH batteries due to their excellent storage and electrochemical properties.
In recent news from the Science and Technology Daily, it was reported that a production line for new rare earth hydrogen storage alloy electrode materials has been commissioned in China. This production line, located at the Baotou Rare Earth Research and Development Center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was developed with proprietary intellectual property rights. Compared to traditional materials, the new material boasts a 30% higher storage capacity, enhanced safety, and suitability for use at temperatures as low as minus 40°C. These advantages make the new rare earth hydrogen storage electrodes suitable for applications in fuel cells and hybrid car batteries.
Hydrogen storage is a critical enabling technology for the advancement of fuel cell applications in various sectors, including portable power, stationary power, and transportation. Hydrogen is an energy-dense fuel, but its low density at ambient temperatures requires the development of advanced storage methods capable of storing higher energy density. The Fuel Cell Technology Office (FCTO) is actively involved in research and development activities to advance storage system technology and create innovative storage materials. The goal is to meet the hydrogen storage targets set by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for light-duty vehicles, material-handling equipment, and portable power applications by 2020, enabling hydrogen-fueled vehicles to meet customer expectations in terms of range, passenger and cargo space, refueling time, and overall performance.
