Abstract:With the rapid development of science and technology, renewable energy is favored by researchers at home and abroad. As the most important clean energy, hydrogen also undertakes its due mission in the research of storage and transportation. Among the ideal metal hydrides, the intermetallic compound TiFe with cubic CsCl structure is famous for its reversible hydrogen absorption and desorption, and its capacity can reach 1.9wt.%, Two phases of FeTiH和FeTiH2 are formed. In this paper, taking TiFe based hydrogen storage alloy as the research object, combined with the research progress of gas-solid hydrogen storage at home and abroad, the microstructure of TiFe alloy is analyzed from the formation of hydride phase. The principle and defects of hydrogen storage of TiFe alloy are explained in detail. Examples show that cold rolling, ball milling and element substitution can improve the hydrogen storage performance of TiFe alloy. Finally, the development of hydrogen storage of TiFe alloy in the future is expected. Therefore, the focus of this article is to present the basic knowledge and recent developments on TiFe intermetallic alloys for future hydrogen-storage applications which will be beneficial to researchers and practitioners in the field of interest.
