Abstract
The invention provides a hydrogen storage material consisting essentially of a hydride of lithium and magnesium, the material having the general formula: LixMgyHn wherein: (i) x is in the range of from 0.17 to 0.93; (ii) y is in the range of from 0.07 to 0.83; and (iii) n is not greater than (x+2y); with the proviso that n is not (x+2y) when (a) x=y; (b) x=2y or (c) 2x=y. Methods of producing the hydrogen storage material and its use to store hydrogen reversibly or irreversibly are also provided.
