Abstract
The present invention provides a novel amorphous metal alloy composition which reversibly stores hydrogen and is useful as the hydrogen storage electrode in an energy storage device. The amorphous metal alloy is made up of at least three elements with at least one element of Ag, Hg, or Pt; at least one element of Pb, Cu, Cr, Mo, W, Ni, Al, Co, Fe, Zn, Cd, Ru or Mn: and at least one element of Ca, Mg, Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, V or Ta.
