CHARGER FOR HYDROGEN ACCUMULATORS BASED ON HIGH PASSIVATION METAL (ALUMINIUM, TITANIUM, MAGNESIUM) HYDRIDE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F17C11/00 C25B1/04 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: charger for hydrogen accumulators based on a high passivation metal (aluminium, titanium, magnesium) hydride consists of a stabilised electric current source (1), conductors (2), an electrolysis cell (3) and hydrogen accumulators (4) based on aluminium (titanium or magnesium) hydride (5). The electrolysis cell (3) holds an electrolyte (6) of carbonic acid H₂CO₃ in distilled water, which completely covers two separate accumulators (4) without external housings with free penetration of the electrolyte (6) into the structure of the accumulator (4) from the metal hydride (5). One accumulator (4) is connected to the cathode (7) and the other accumulator (8) is connected to the anode. On the cover (10) of the charger there is a vertical tube (11) with a valve (12) for releasing excess pressure created by electrolysis products.

EFFECT: forming hydrides in metal structures in an electrolysis cell under the effect of a thermal field.
