Abstract

Exposing “real-life” (i.e., oxide-coated polycrystalline) hydride-forming metals to gaseous hydrogen finally leads to the massive hydriding reactions of these metals. However, in many binary M-H systems, a certain “induction period” precedes the detectable massive stage of this reaction. Yet, even during these initial “incubation periods,” some microscopic precipitation processes take place, involving multiscale phenomena.
