Also, by virtue of exothermic formation and endothermic dissociation, a wide variety of thermal devices can be engineered utilizing the MH-H2 pair. However, the design of efficient MH reactors/heat exchangers is the most critical issue limiting hydrogen charging/discharging rate and therefore the concomitant heating/cooling effect.enThesis
