Abstract

A hydrogen storage system is provided which will not substantially degrade over time. Each of a plurality of storage cells comprises a screen coated with a ceramic material which will allow passage of hydrogen, but prevent passage of submicron particles of a hydridable material such as LaNi.sub.5. Charging and discharging of each cell may be accomplished by applying an electrical current to the screen material forming each cell.
