Abstract
A system for hydrogen storage including a hydridable material associated with an amount of inert material of high heat capacity sufficient in amount to prevent, during hydriding, the temperature of the combined hydridable material-inert material from rising beyond that temperature at which the hydride of the hydridable material exhibits a hydrogen pressure equal to the partial pressure of hydrogen fed to the system. The system is insulated to inhibit heat transfer into or out of the system.
