Abstract
A method is disclosed for the preparation of active magnesium hydride-magnesium-hydrogen storage systems, which reversibly absorb hydrogen, with addition of a catalyst for the absorption of hydrogen with the formation of hydride. Magnesium hydride particles.ltoreq.400 .mu.m in diameter are added in an amount of at least 1.2% by weight, based on the magnesium to be hydrogenated, as catalyst during the first hydrogenation to the finely divided magnesium to be hydrogenated. The hydrogenation is carried out at a temperature of .gtoreq.250.degree. C. and a pressure of 0.5 to 5 MPa. The method is carried out with intensive stirring of the material that is being reacted.
