Abstract
Metals useful in the formation of hydrides for applications such as batteries are advantageously activated by a low temperature low pressure process. This process which is useful at room temperature and atmospheric pressure involves treating the metal such as LaNi.sub.5 with boron reducing agents such as NaBH.sub.4.
