Ciri–ciri MmNi5 dan MmNi4.85Fe0.15 sebagai medium gas hidrogen telah dilakukan di dalam penyelidikan ini. Keupayaan penyerapan logam tersebut adalah dipengaruhi oleh faktor suhu dan dan tekanan. Julat suhu yang dipilih adalah di antara 298K dan 323K manakala tekanan diubah–ubah dari 2 hingga 30 bar. Dalam penyelidikan ini didapati bahawa jumlah gas hidrogen yang diserap oleh MmNi5 adalah berkadar songsang dengan suhu. Jumlah penyerapan maksimum NmNi5 telah dicapai pada suhu 298K dan pada tekanan plateau 10 m bar. Nilai penyerapan hidrogen pada suhu dan tekanan tersebut adalah 1.20 peratus berat. Bagi penyerapan MmNi5 pada 313K dan 323K, keputusan menunjukkan nilai 0.9 dan 0.8 peratus berat. Masing–masing menunjukkan tekanan plateau didapati pada 20 dan 24 bar. Penyelidikan ke atas MmNi4.85 menunjukkan keputusan yang tidak menepati dengan teori. Hasil daripada rujukan dan penyelidikan yang menyeluruh, didapati bahawa proses pengaktifan sampel yang dilakukan adalah tidak mencukupi untuk mengaktifkan MmNi4.85Fe0.15. Kata kunci: Logam hidrid; penyimpanan gas hidrogen; proses pengaktifan; tekanan plateau; jumlah penyerapan hidrogen The characteristics of MmNi5 and MmNi4.85Fe0.15 in storing hydrogen gas were examined in this study. The absorption capacity of the metal was monitored under the influence of temperature and pressure. Due to the limitation on its operating conditions, the range of the temperature chosen was from 298K to 323K while pressure was varied from 2 to 30 bar. Study conducted on MmNi5, showed that the amount of hydrogen absorbed was inversely proportional to the operating temperature. In the study of MnNi5 the maximum absorption was achieved at 298K and exhibited the plateau pressure of 10 bar. The hydrogen content was expressed as weight and the value was calculated to be at 1.20 wt%. As for MmNi5 at 313K abd 323K, the results are pointed at 0.9 wt% and 0.8 wt% whilst the plateau was encountedered at 20 and 24 bar, respectively. Study conducted on MmNi4.85Fe0.15 showed inconsistent findings with theory. After thorough examination, it was realized that the misbehavior of the sample was due to the insufficient agrresiveness activations method employed. Key words: Metal hydride; hydrogen storage; activation process; plateau pressure; hydrogen absorbed contentDownloads
