Abstract
Advantages of using hydrogen as a source of energy and silicate
materials for its storage, in place of metal hydrides, have been explained.
The silicates studied are vermiculites (from France, Spain
and artificially prepared), montmorillonite, chlorite (USA) and
zeolites (artificially prepared). It has been shown that finely divided
metal particles (15-100 A) can be formed in the interlayer space of
clay minerals or in the structural voids of zeolite under suitable
conditions and these can serve for storing hydrogen.
