Abstract

A metal hydride storage device with a hydrogenatable storage metal powder and with an encapsulation of non-hydrogenatable material receiving the storage metal powder; the storage metal powder with a substantially uniformly distributed addition of about 2 to 10% by weight of powder-shaped non-hydrogenatable material forming a matrix powder, is contained in the encapsulation as form-rigid compressed or sintered body.
