Abstract
Magnesium allows obtaining a good hydrogen storage capacity in terms of weight percentage but its use is limited by high stability of the hydride and slow kinetics. The kinetics can be improved by (i) mechanical grinding, cold rolling (or other severe plastic deformation) and (ii) addition of various elements (catalysts or activators).
