9.12. How do you expect the metallic hydrides to be useful for hydrogen storage? Explain.

9.12. Metallic hydrides are useful for ultra-purification of dihydrogen and as dihydrogen storage media. In metallic hydrides, hydrogen is adsorbed as H-atoms. Due to the adsorption of H atoms the metal lattice expands and become unstable. Thus, when metallic hydride is heated, it decomposes to form
