Abstract
The invention relates to a safe hydrogen-storing tank that is easy to manufacture and enables the quick kinetic absorption of hydrogen, which reduces the variations in volume and has a low cost in terms of material and energy. The invention has the aim of providing a tank for storing hydrogen, including a hydrogen inlet () and a hydrogen outlet () in fluid communication with at least one solid body (-) capable of the exothermal absorption and endothermal desorption of hydrogen, wherein said at least one solid body (-) is made of a compacted material containing light metal hydride and a heat-conducting matrix, and wherein said at least one solid body (-) is in heat-transfer relation with at least one heat recovery material () free from salt or molten-salt compounds and capable of absorbing the heat generated by the hydrogen absorption and of releasing said absorbed heat so as to provide heat for hydrogen desorption.
