説明
UCo absorbs hydrogen to form UCoH2.7 powder below 423 K at 105 Pa. Although it dehydrogenates reversibly below 423 K, two-phase mixtures of UH3 and UCo2 appear above 473 K, which can be explained on the basis of the free energy differences. The pyrophoricity of the hydrogen storage system based on UCo is expected to be lower than that based on pure uranium because the two-phase mixtures recycle to UCo after complete desorption above 673 K and uranium metal rarely appears in the hydrogen absorption-desorption cycle. However, the decomposition pressure at low temperatures needs to be reduced in order to use this compound for tritium storage.
