“…Given the necessity to obtain these materials on a large scale and economically, the mechanical alloying is an appropriate method of both rapid synthesis and convenient cost compared to methods of synthesis of high temperature and more technological requirements, Liang et al (2001), Simičić et al (2001), Jurczyk et al: (2002, Rodriguez (2009), Obregón et al (2012). The inherent characteristics of AB5-type materials make them suitable for two stages of hydrogen technology: a) Thermal compression of hydrogen: the study of these materials applied to this stage focuses the analysis on the crystallographic and structural properties as a function of different types of substitution in the A and B sites of the intermetallic.…”
