Abstract

Measurements of pressure-concentration (p-c) isotherms of hydrogen in a wide variety of amorphous Ni—Zr alloys are presented. The measurements are complemented by an analysis of hydrogen sites in computer-generated amorphous clusters. The binding energy of these sites has been calculated using an effective medium theory. Filling these sites randomly in order of decreasing binding energy with a nearest-neighbor exclusion leads to a chemical potential in agreement with what is found from the (p-c) isotherms. In the pressure range required in a hydrogen-storage device (1–10 atm) the hydrogen occupies interstitial sites surrounded by 3Zr, 1Ni atoms or 2Zr, 2Ni atoms.
