Abstract

A hydrogen-storing material of known type, e.g. Mg, Ti, V, Nb, and alloys such as La-, Ti- and Co- alloys, is made form retaining without significant loss of hydrogen absorption and desorption properties by binding with a plastic having sufficient adhesion or binding strength. The hydrogen-storing material in granular form is mixed with the plastic in powder, emulsion, solution or melt form and then molded into the desired shape.
